In the paper Hao Wang et al (2012 Phys. Scr. 86 015001) have studied the entangled quantum Otto engine and have derived some thermodynamics quantities like the amount of heat energy exchange, the net work output and the efficiency. Our investigations reveal that although the numeric results (figures) are correct, but the analytic formulas for heat, work, and efficiency are not correct.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
