We study the similarities and differences between one-qubit Novikov quantum heat engines
and classic Novikov heat engines. We find that they have similar power-efficiency curves but …

We study an endoreversible quantum heat engine in which the heat transfer between the
baths is mediated by two qubits. Each qubit acts as an energy filter which allows for the …
