Abstract Classical thermodynamics, or equilibrium thermodynamics, is a theory that deals with macroscopic systems at thermodynamic equilibrium. Recently, a new theory has emerged intending to also describe the thermodynamics of macroscopic quantum systems and the quantum effects present, which has become known as quantum thermodynamics. As in classical thermodynamics, thermal engines have also been important for the development of quantum thermodynamics. The main goal of this project is the search for quantum thermal engines with better performance than the performance of classical thermal engines. In this sense, recent studies have already shown that nonequilibrium reservoirs can improve the performance of quantum thermal engines. However, we will investigate here the action of nonequilibrium steady states on the performance of the quantum thermal engines under discussion, without using nonequilibrium reservoirs. In addition, we will also study single-atom lasers as quantum thermal engines, aiming at a possible implementation in the context of nuclear magnetic resonance, and ways to improve their performance.(AU) | |
