"Swift heat transfer by fast-forward driving in open quantum systems." Physical Review A, Volume 100, Issue 1, https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.100.0121262469-99262469-9934https://hdl.handle.net/2144/40390Typically, time-dependent thermodynamic protocols need to run asymptotically slowly in order to avoid dissipative losses. By adapting ideas from counterdiabatic driving and Floquet engineering to open systems, we develop fast-forward protocols for swiftly thermalizing a system oscillator locally coupled to an optical phonon bath. These protocols control the system frequency and the system-bath coupling to induce a resonant state exchange between the system and the bath. We apply the fast-forward protocols to realize a fast approximate Otto engine operating at high power near the Carnot efficiency. Our results suggest design principles for swift cooling protocols in coupled many-body systems.en-US"© 2019 American Physical Society.
