Autonomous Single Atom Heat Engine — •Bo Deng, Moritz Göb, Max Masuhr, Kilian Singer, and Daqing Wang — Institut für Physik, Universität Kassel, Kassel, Germany

Here, we present our recent advances towards realizing an autonomous heat engine with a single atomic ion. The engine is based on a single ⁴⁰Ca⁺-ion confined in a tapered Paul trap. We propose implementing thermal baths with two tightly focused laser beams at different frequency detunings from the Doppler cooling transition. Furthermore, we employ a sub-Hertz linewidth laser system to address the 4²S_1/2 to 3²D_5/2 quadrupole transition. This will be used to perform side-band resolved ground state cooling, enabling the utilization of quantum reservoirs^[1] to drive the single-atom heat engine.
