The working medium is a two-level system and we drive the tunneling as well as the coupling to one bath with the same period. We identify four different operating regimes of our machine which include a heat engine and a refrigerator. As the coupling strength with one bath is increased, the refrigerator regime disappears, the heat engine regime narrows and their efficiency and coefficient of performance decrease. Furthermore, our model can reproduce the setup of laser cooling of trapped ions in a specific parameter limit.en530 Physiktime-periodic driving fieldnon-equilibrium thermodynamicsopen quantum systemsreaction coordinatefull counting statisticsnon-Markovianitystrong couplingFrom quantum heat engines to laser cooling: Floquet theory beyond the Born–Markov approximationArticle2022-02-111367-2630
