We examine here a hitherto unchartered Ericsson motor, operating in the quantum domain. The engine is a nanoscopic system of an electron trapped in a two-dimensional parabolic well and further subjected to an external magnetic field in the third direction. The quantum-coherent cyclotron motion of the electron is de-cohered due to strong interaction with a dissipative quantum heat bath.The calculation employs two different approaches - exact functional integral representation of the partition function and quantum Langevin equations for the operators of the system. Though in equilibrium, both the approaches yield equivalent expressions for the efficiency, the Langevin method opens up further avenues for investigating time dependent properties of the nano motor.

  1. Quantum Brayton Engine of Non-Interacting Fermions in a One-Dimensional Box

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A quantum Brayton cycle with fermions in a one-dimensional box has an efficiency set by box-length ratios alone, independent of particle number, while power scales with the number of particles.
