- Authors: Ludovica Donati, Francesco Saverio Cataliotti, Stefano Gherardini
- Abstract summary: Fano coherences are quantum coherences formed when an incoherent source vanishes.
In this paper we certify the presence of genuinely quantum traits underlying the generation of Fano coherences.
We also show the existence of nonequilibrium regimes where the generation of Fano coherences leads to a non-negligible amount of extractable work.

- 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.

We show that, when considering entropy production generated in a process taking a finite-size bipartite quantum system out of equilibrium through local non-unitary channels, no general monotonicity relationship exists between the entropy production and degree of quantum coherence in the state of the system.
Our results call for a systematic study of the role of genuine quantum features in the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes.

Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization.
Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes.
Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.
