  We examine a quantum Otto engine with a harmonic working medium consisting of
two particles to explore the use of wave function symmetry as an accessible
resource. It is shown that the bosonic system displays enhanced performance
when compared to two independent single particle engines, while the fermionic
system displays reduced performance. To this end, we explore the trade-off
between efficiency and power output and the parameter regimes under which the
system functions as engine, refrigerator, or heater. Remarkably, the bosonic
system operates under a wider parameter space both when operating as an engine
and as a refrigerator.
