\section{Conclusion}
|
||||||
|
\label{sec:conclusion-2}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have reviewed the notion of unitarily extractable energy
|
||||||
|
``ergotropy'' and found that this quantity is indeed bounded by
|
||||||
|
\cref{eq:thermo_ergo_bound} for the models we study in this work,
|
||||||
|
namely finite dimensional systems coupled to a heat bath. It was
|
||||||
|
further demonstrated with an analytical calculation that this bound
|
||||||
|
can apply to baths with infinite degrees of freedom. In the
|
||||||
|
case of multiple baths, a Gibbs like inequality
|
||||||
|
\cref{eq:secondlaw_cyclic} was presented which can be interpreted as
|
||||||
|
thermodynamic cost of a cyclical process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Subsequently, we studied a modulated version of the spin-boson model
|
||||||
|
with the goal of extracting energy from a thermal bath. We found that
|
||||||
|
a not insubstantial fraction of the theoretical maximum can be
|
||||||
|
extracted when only the coupling to the bath is modulated and the bath
|
||||||
|
memory is long. Also, the quantum speed limit and a resonance
|
||||||
|
phenomenon were demonstrated. The latter elucidated in which way the
|
||||||
|
strong coupling case differs from the weak coupling regime.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, we demonstrated the fitness of HOPS to treat arbitrarily
|
||||||
|
driven systems with multiple baths through the simulation of a quantum
|
||||||
|
Otto cycle. We achieved finite power and found the Gibbs like
|
||||||
|
inequality to be valid. An equivalent continuously coupled cycle
|
||||||
|
without modulation of the coupling performed significantly worse in
|
||||||
|
terms of power and efficiency.
