Energetics of Fano coherence generation

Abstract
In a multi-level quantum system Fano coherences stand for the formation of quantum coherences due to the interaction with the continuum of modes characterizing an incoherent process. When the incoherent source vanishes, Fano coherences tend to disappear. In this paper we propose a V-type three-level quantum system on which we certify the presence of genuinely quantum traits underlying the generation of Fano coherences. We do this by determining work conditions that allows for the loss of positivity of the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability distribution of the stochastic energy variations within the discrete system. We also show the existence of nonequilibrium regimes where the generation of Fano coherences leads to a non-negligible amount of extractable work, however provided the initial state of the discrete system is in a superposition of the energy eigenbasis. We conclude the paper by studying the thermodynamic efficiency of the whole process.
