In this talk\, I will discuss nanos cale heat engines are a natural platform to study quantum synchronization and show that they always possess a stable limit cycle. Furthermore\, I wi ll discuss an intimate relationship between the power of a coherently driv en heat engine and its phase-locking properties by proving that synchroniz ation places an upper bound on the achievable steady-state power of the en gine. Such an engine exhibits finite steady-state power if and only if its synchronization measure is nonzero. Finally\, I will show that the effici ency of the engine sets a point in terms of the bath temperatures where sy nchronization vanishes. Relationship to a resource theoretic measure of co herence will also be discussed.\n LOCATION:https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/QuantInfoSem/1/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
