contents Quantum thermodynamic relationships in emerging nanodevices are significant but often complex to deal with. The application of machine learning in quantum thermodynamics has provided a new perspective. This study employs reinforcement learning to output the optimal cycle of quantum heat engine. Specifically, the soft actor-critic algorithm is adopted to optimize the cycle of three-level coherent quantum heat engine with the aim of maximal average power. The results show that the optimal average output power of the coherent three-level heat engine is 1.28 times greater than the original cycle (steady limit). Meanwhile, the efficiency of the optimal cycle is greater than the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency as well as reporting by other researchers. Notably, this optimal cycle can be fitted as an Otto-like cycle by applying the Boltzmann function during the compression and expansion processes, which illustrates the effectiveness of the method.
