  "abstract": "For a general thermodynamic system described as a Markov process, we prove an inequality which shows that nonvanishing heat current inevitably induces dissipation. This leads to a trade-off relation between efficiency and power, with which we establish that a heat engine with nonvanishing power never attains the Carnot efficiency. Our theory applies to systems arbitrarily far from equilibrium, and does not assume any specific symmetry of the model.",
