Abstract
A quantum Otto engine using two-interacting spins as its working medium is analyzed within framework of stochastic thermodynamics. The time-dependent power fluctuations and average power are explicitly derived for a complete cycle of engine operation. We find that the efficiency and power fluctuations are affected significantly by interparticle interactions, but both of them become interaction-independent under maximal power via optimizing the external control parameter. The behavior of the efficiency at maximum power is further explained by analyzing the optimal protocol of the engine.
