A quantum Zeno dynamics protocol confines the evolution of a finite-time Otto-cycle quantum heat engine to a subspace that preserves instantaneous energy populations, recovering quasistatic efficiency with added thermodynamic costs from monitoring and switching.
(5) is no longer sufficient by itself because the work stroke is interrupted by measurements and the outcome of those measurements is stochastic
