Speed-Ups to Isothermality: Enhanced Quantum Thermal Machines through Control of the System-Bath Coupling
Isothermal transformations are minimally dissipative but slow processes, as the system needs to remain close to thermal equilibrium along the protocol. Here, we show that smoothly modifying the system-bath interaction can significantly speed up such transformations. In particular, we construct proto...
