Abstract
Motivated by the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model, we consider here a quantum dot coupled simultaneously to a reservoir of photons and to two electric leads (free-fermion reservoirs). This new Jaynes-Cummings-Leads (JCL) model permits a fermion current through the dot to create a photon flux, which describes a light-emitting device. The same model is also used to describe the transformation of a photon flux into a current of fermions, i.e. a quantum dot light-absorbing device. The key tool to obtain these results is the abstract Landauer-Büttiker formula.
