Paper Abstract
A novel proof of principle prototype for a quantum heat engine is proposed, based on the quasi-static tuning of an external magnetic field, in combination with controlled mechanical strain applied to a single graphene flake. The "working fluid" of this engine is composed by a statistical ensemble of Dirac quasiparticles in Landau levels. The cyclic operation of the engine, whose intermediate states are described through a density matrix, is discussed in detail, and its thermodynamic efficiency is calculated in the quasi-static limit.
