Quantum work by a single photon
D. Valente, F. Brito, R. Ferreira +1
The work performed by a classical electromagnetic field on a quantum dipole is well known in quantum optics. The absorbed power linearly depends on the time derivative of the avera…
The most elementary heat to work conversion: work extraction from a completely passive state by a single photon
Daniel Valente, Frederico Brito, Thiago Werlang
The concepts of work and heat in the quantum domain, as well as their interconversion principles, are still an open debate. We have found theoretical evidence that a single photon…
Strongly coupling a cavity to inhomogeneous ensembles of emitters : potential for long lived solid-state quantum memories
I. Diniz, S. Portolan, R. Ferreira +3
We investigate theoretically the coupling of a cavity mode to a continuous distribution of emitters. We discuss the influence of the emitters inhomogeneous broadening on the existe…
