Fluctuations of stochastic power and efficiency. (a) Distribution of the power exerted on the cold nanoparticle: result from the MD simulations (bars) and analytical prediction given by (9) (solid blue line). Note that the lower panel in Fig. 2b displays the corresponding values of \(W_{\mathrm{C}}\). (b) Distribution of the stochastic coefficient of performance defined by (10): empirical density obtained from the MD simulations (see Methods section) and theoretical prediction given by a power law with exponent \(-2\) (red line). For the second panel we took \(\kappa _{\mathrm{H}}/\kappa _{\mathrm{C}}=7.27\) and fixed the rest of the parameter values the same as in Fig. 3.
