Thermodynamics of a continuous quantum heat engine: Interplay between population and coherence
We present a detailed thermodynamic analysis of a three-level quantum heat engine coupled continuously to hot and cold reservoirs. The system is driven by an oscillating external field and is described by the Markovian quantum master equation. We use the general form of the dissipator which is consistent with thermodynamics. …
