“…[8][9][10][11], an entirely different kind of quantum coherence among the excited states is known to arise [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , and persist for a long time 19 under incoherent light illumination. These coherences are due to the Agarwal-Fano (AF) interference between different incoherent light-induced transition pathways 12,18,20,21 , and have much in common with previously explored quantum optical phenomena such as vacuum-induced coherence, lasing without inversion, electromagnetically induced transparency, and quantum control 18,19,22 . This kind of noise-induced coherence has recently attracted much interest in view of its potential to enhance the efficiency of quantum heat engines, both natural and artificially designed 13,14,16 .…”
