3 Many body quantum Otto cycle
We now describe the quantum Otto cycle (QOC) which consist of four strokes (also shown in Fig.1):
\
\
\ (ii) Stroke B → C: The WM is disconnected from the hot bath and α is changed from α1 to α2 using the driving protocol,
\
\ The evolution being a unitary evolution is given by the von-Neumann equation of motion:
\
\ In this work, we shall focus on α2 = αc, the critical value, for the reasons that will be explained later.
\ (iii) Stroke C → D: The WM with α = α2 is next connected to the cold bath at a temperature TC till τC so that it reaches the thermal state at D given by
\
\ (iv) Stroke D → A: In this last stroke, the WM is disconnected from the cold bath, and α is changed back to α1 from α2 using
\
\ to reach A through unitary dynamics and thus the cycle repeats.
\ Energies at the end of each stroke i is calculated using the equation
\
\ We characterize the engine performance using the quantities efficiency and power which are computed as
