We study the performance of measurement-based thermal machine whose working medium dynamics is subject to backflow of information from the reservoir via collision based model. In this study, the non-Markovian effect is introduced by allowing for additional unitary interactions between the environments. We present two strategies of realizing non-Markovian dynamics and study their influence on the work produced by the engine. Moreover, the role of system-environment memory effects on the engine performance can be beneficial in short time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-16T20:45:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "information-driven engine", "implications", "engineering quantum thermodynamic devices", "standard markovian limit", "additional unitary interactions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
