  "abstract": "We address a measurement-driven, single-bath quantum engine that generates usable work using quantum measurement backaction. The working medium is a two-parameter $(p,q)$-deformed harmonic oscillator, whose nonlinear spectrum modifies the energy gaps sampled by a nonselective Gaussian measurement and the work exchanged during quasistatic adiabatic strokes. The cycle starts from a Gibbs state and consists of an adiabatic change of $(ω,p,q)$, measurement of the final effective position quadrature, a reverse adiabatic stroke, and thermalization with the original bath. Using a consistent first-law convention, we derive the measurement heat, adiabatic work contributions, thermalization heat, and reduced working-medium efficiency. We also express the measurement stroke via a transition matrix and identify passivity/unitality conditions that ensure nonnegative measurement heat. Numerical scans show that, within the finite-basis, spectral-ordering, and engine-operation checks used in this work, deformation can enhance measurement-induced energy input and extracted work relative to the undeformed oscillator. The physical engine regime is selected by $\\QM>0$, $\\Wcyc<0$, $\\QT<0$, and $0<η<1$. The reported efficiency is reduced and excludes measurement-apparatus costs.",
