Abstract

Based on a hybrid model of a single-mode microcavity system plus an ensemble of two-level atoms (TLAs), we investigate the effect of quantum correlated coherence (QCC) [Tan K C, et al. 2016 Phys. Rev. A 94, 022329] of bath on the dynamic behaviors of system. The dynamic equations of system for a general bath with QCC have been derived. With the help of the GHZ-like state with QCC and its reference state, the role of QCC as a thermodynamic resource has been clearly shown where QCC could be used to enhance the system's energy. Meanwhile, combining with the analytical and numerical simulation methods, the influences of effective temperature of \begin{document}$ GHZ $\end{document} -like bath and the coupling strength between the system and the bath on the energy effect of QCC have been studied. We find that the energy contribution of QCC to the cavity field relies not only on the effective temperature of bath but also on the coupling strength. That is completely different from the case of traditional thermal bath where the energy captured by the cavity from the bath only depends on the bath temperature, i.e., the thermal distribution of TLAs. Moreover, several interesting phenomena, in the paper, have been shown: 1) the higher of the effective temperature of bath, the larger of the cavity's energy extracted from the QCC of bath; 2) under the fixed effective temperature of bath, the smaller of the coupling strength the larger of the maximal extractable energy from QCC of bath;…
