Thermodynamics of Minimal Coupling Quantum Heat Engines

The minimal-coupling quantum heat engine is a thermal machine consisting of an explicit energy storage system, heat baths, and a working body, which alternatively couples to subsystems through discrete strokes --- energy-conserving two-body quantum operations. Within this paradigm, we present a gene...
