Cross-Spectral Reservoir Correlations as a Resource for Finite-Time Quantum Otto Engines

We investigate the thermodynamic consequences of longitudinal-transverse cross-spectral reservoir correlations in a finite-time quantum Otto engine with a two-level working medium. Each reservoir couples through excitation-relaxation and dephasing channels whose fluctuations are characterized by a Hermitian positive-se...
