TL;DR
This paper explores a quantum energy concentration mechanism that results in a steady photon emission rate without external input, attributed to system interactions and environment measurements.
Contribution
It provides a theoretical analysis of energy concentration in quantum systems, emphasizing the role of interactions and measurements in generating stationary photon emissions.
Findings
Energy concentration leads to non-zero stationary photon emission.
Interaction between system components is crucial for the effect.
Repeated environment-induced measurements influence the energy dynamics.
Abstract
In a recent article [A. Kurcz et al., Phys. Rev. A 81, 063821 (2010)] we predicted an energy concentrating mechanism in composite quantum systems. Its result is a non-zero stationary state photon emission rate even in the absence of external driving. Here we discuss the possible origin of the predicted effect. We attribute it to the presence of a non-trivial interaction between different system components and to repeated environment-induced photon measurements.
