Unruh quantum Otto heat engine with level degeneracy

We investigate the Unruh quantum Otto heat engine with level degeneracy. An effectively two-level system, where the ground state is non-degenerate and the excited state is n-fold degenerate, is acting as the working substance, and the vacuum of massless free scalar field serves as a thermal bath via...
