Abstract
We consider a quantum Otto heat engine cycle operating between two squeezed thermal reservoirs that are characterized by a temperature as well as additional parameters that quantify the degree of squeezing. The optimal efficiency at the unified trade-off optimization criterion representing a compromise between energy benefits and losses for a quantum Otto heat engine is systematically investigated. The analytical expressions for the optimal efficiency are determined in the limit adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes as well as in the high- and low-temperature regimes, respectively. The general unified trade-off efficiency is given as a nonequilibrium efficiency that extends the standard unified trade-off efficiency to a more general nonequilibrium condition.
