Model and heat transfer mechanism. a Illustration of the system, consisting of a quantum-dot exciton transition driven by a laser field, and interacting with a heat bath of phonons. b The mechanism of heat transfer, in which phonons from the heat bath are absorbed or emitted in transitions between the laser-dressed exciton states. The graph illustrates the evolution of the dressed-state energies in a typical adiabatic rapid passage process
