具有量子转子的自主单活塞发动机

An autonomous single-piston engine with a quantum rotor

Alexandre Roulet, Stefan Nimmrichter, Jacob M. Taylor

摘要:

活塞是各种热力发动机的基本部件,允许将输入燃料转换为旋转运动。在这里,我们提出了一个单活塞发动机,其中的旋转自由度是有效地实现了约瑟夫森环-量子转子-通量,而工作体积对应于超导谐振器的有效长度。我们的自主设计实现了卡诺循环,仅依赖于标准的热浴,并可以与电路量子电动力学实现。我们演示了发动机是如何能够通过其内置的同步性使用过滤器腔作为一个有效的阀门,消除了外部控制的需要,以提取净正功。

英文摘要:

Pistons are elementary components of a wide variety of thermal engines, allowing to convert input fuel into rotational motion. Here, we propose a single-piston engine where the rotational degree of freedom is effectively realized by the flux of a Josephson loop -- a quantum rotor -- while the working volume corresponds to the effective length of a superconducting resonator. Our autonomous design implements a Carnot cycle, relies solely on standard thermal baths and can be implemented with circuit quantum electrodynamics. We demonstrate how the engine is able to extract a net positive work via its built-in synchronicity using a filter cavity as an effective valve, eliminating the need for external control.
