| contents | Quantum thermodynamics with microscopic inelastic scattering processes has been intensively investigated in recent years. Here, we apply quantum master equation combined with full counting statistics approach to investigate the role of quantum coherence on the periodically-driven inelastic heat engine. We demonstrate that the inelastic quantum heat engine exhibits dramatic advantage of thermodynamic performance compared to their elastic counterpart. Moreover, it is found that inelastic currents, {output work}, and the efficiency can be enhanced by quantum coherence. In particular, the geometric effect proves crucial in achieving maximal values of generated output work and energy conversion efficiency. The Berry curvature boosted by quantum coherence unveils the underlying mechanism of periodically-driven inelastic heat engine. Our findings may provide some insights for further understanding and optimizing periodically-driven heat engines via quantum coherence resource and inelastic scattering processes. |
