Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency is recovered in the weak dissipation limit.
Efficiency at maximum power aligns with theoretical predictions.
Abstract
We evaluate the efficiency at maximum power of a quantum-dot Carnot heat engine. The universal value of the coefficients at the linear and quadratic order in the temperature gradient are reproduced. Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency is recovered in the limit of weak dissipation.
