近日，中国科学院理论物理研究所王颖丹团队研究了具有机械参数驱动的光力学系统中的量子热机。相关论文于2025年9月24日发表在《物理评论A》杂志上。

研究组考虑了一个在光力学系统中构造的量子奥托型热机，其中选择腔作为工作物质。在非平衡稳态下，腔体可以通过光-力相互作用与热浴有效耦合。采用参数驱动的机械模式为腔体供能，并对能量的利用效率进行了分析。为了在有限时间演化中获得更高的效率，研究组在工作生成过程中引入了绝热捷径法。通过数值模拟得到了修正后的热效率。该系统在量子传热和量子器件的能量利用方面具有潜在的应用前景。

Abstract: We consider a quantum Otto-type heat engine constructed in an optomechanical system with which the cavity is chosen as the working substance. The cavity can effectively be coupled with hot thermal baths in nonequilibrium steady states via optomechanical interaction. The mechanical mode with parametric drive fuels the cavity, and the utilization efficiency of energy is discussed. To obtain higher efficiency in finite time evolution, we use the shortcuts-to-adiabaticity method in work generation processes. The modified thermal efficiencies are obtained by numerical simulation. Such a system provides potential applications in quantum heat transfer and energy utilization in quantum devices.
