We present an optimal analysis for a Quantum-Mechanical version of the Carnot-like cycle which consists of two isoenergetic and two adiabatic processes, using diatomic molecules i.e. Morse Oscilltor as a working substance by changing bot its Quantum state n and width L of the well which moves at a finite speed. We derive the expression of power output and replicate the expression for the efficiency at maximum power.
