Developing quantum machines which can outperform their classical counterparts, thereby achieving quantum supremacy or quantum advantage, is a major aim of the current research on quantum thermodynamics and quantum technologies. Here, we show that a fast-modulated cyclic quantum heat machine operating in the non-Markovian regime can lead to significant heat current and power boosts induced by the anti-Zeno effect. Such boosts signify a quantum advantage over almost all heat machines proposed thus far that operate in the conventional Markovian regime, where the quantumness of the system-bath interaction plays no role. The present effect owes its origin to the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics, which may result in enhanced system-bath energy exchange for modulation periods shorter than the bath correlation-time.

开发能够胜过其经典对手的量子机器，从而实现量子至上或量子优势，是当前量子热力学和量子技术研究的主要目标。在这里，我们表明，在非马尔可夫体系中运行的快速调制循环量子热机可以导致大量的热电流和由反Zeno效应引起的功率提升。与迄今为止提出的几乎所有在常规马尔可夫体系中运行的热机相比，这种提高都表明了其量子优势，在传统的马尔可夫体系中，系统-浴相互作用的量子性不起作用。当前效应的起因是量子力学中的时间-能量不确定性关系，这可能导致比浴相关时间短的调制周期增强了系统-浴能量交换。
