[25]Connectivity Geometry: Topological Quantum Heat Engine and Extraction of Spacetime Geometric Potential

Traditional thermodynamics and the Carnot cycle strictly limit the efficiency and operating conditions of heat engines. Based on the grand unified framework of "connectivity geometry," this paper proposes a disruptive energy extraction mechanism: the connectivity phase of the spin network at the fundamental level of spacetime itself constitutes a massive "geometric energy storage pool." Through an alternating electric field driving the interlayer sliding of a two-dimensional lattice, the system completes an adiabatic loop in parameter space. Utilizing the topological pumping (Thouless Pumping) effect and the Chern number jump, it converts ambient background energy into a macroscopic directed current in an isothermal environment without a temperature gradient. This paper introduces a new concept of "topological geometric entropy": the system sacrifices the topological entropy of parameter space in exchange for a local reduction in thermal entropy, while the total entropy remains non-decreasing. This not only profoundly extends condensed matter topological physics but also declares the end of the traditional Carnot heat engine paradigm.

Abstract

Traditional thermodynamics and the Carnot cycle strictly limit the efficiency and operating conditions of heat engines. Based on the grand unified framework of "connectivity geometry," this paper proposes a disruptive energy extraction mechanism: the connectivity phase of the spin network at the fundamental level of spacetime itself constitutes a massive "geometric energy storage pool." Through an alternating electric field driving the interlayer sliding of a two-dimensional lattice, the system completes an adiabatic loop in parameter space. Utilizing the topological pumping (Thouless Pumping) effect and the Chern number jump, it converts ambient background energy into a macroscopic directed current in an isothermal environment without a temperature gradient. This paper introduces a new concept of "topological geometric entropy": the system sacrifices the topological entropy of parameter space in exchange for a local reduction in thermal entropy, while the total entropy remains non-decreasing. This not only profoundly extends condensed matter topological physics but also declares the end of the traditional Carnot heat engine paradigm.
