Description

The first steps towards a proof-of-concept memory powered heat engine using trapped $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ions. This proof-of-concept intends on showing entropy transfer between thermal and spin reservoirs with minimal energy loss, therefore allowing a higher efficiency heat engine than allowed classically.
