Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Quantum Heat Engines (1611.01218v1)
Published 3 Nov 2016 in quant-ph
Abstract: We describe how electromagnetically induced transparency may be used to construct a non-traditional near-ideal quantum heat engine as constrained by the Second Law. The engine is pumped by a thermal reservoir that may be either hotter or colder than that of an exhaust reservoir, and also by a monochromatic laser. As output, it produces a bright narrow emission at line center of an otherwise absorbing transition.
