Abstract

Quantum batteries (QBs) are energy storage and transfer microdevices that open up new possibilities in energy technology. Here, we derive a resonator--multiple-qutrit quantum battery (QB) model consisting of a multimode resonator and $N$ superconducting transmon qutrits. We investigate the charging and self-discharging performances of the QBs and discuss the roles of quantum coherence and quantum entanglement. The results show that environment noise is not always detrimental for QB systems. The QB with efficient charging, stable energy-storage, and slow self-discharging processes can be realized by considering the dephasing noise and manipulating the energy gap. We find that the charging energy is positively related to coherence and entanglement while the stable energy and the self-discharging energy are negatively related to coherence. The phenomenon of the vanishing entanglement corresponds to the dynamic decoupling behavior of the QB's steady states. Our results provide a way to realize many-body QBs on a superconducting circuit platform.

Superconducting transmon qubit-resonator quantum battery

Fu-Quan Dou, Fang-Mei Yang

Quantum battery (QB) is the miniature energy storage and release device and plays a crucial role in future quantum technology. Here an implementation scheme of a QB is proposed on a superconducting circuit, which is composed by $N$ coupled transmon qubits and a one-dimensional transmission line resonator. We derive the Hamiltonian of the QB system and investigate its charging performance by considering three decay channels. We find that the presence of the decay channels suppresses the high oscillation of the energy storage process, thereby realizing a stable and powerful QB. In particular, compared with the resonator decay and the qubit relaxation, the qubit dephasing shows a counterintuitive advantage in our QB. We show that the nearest-neighbor interaction always has a positive impact on the stable energy and the coupling only significantly influences the maximum charging power in the fully nondegenerate ground-state region. We also demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by evaluating the QB performance under experimental parameters.

Optimal charging of a superconducting quantum battery

Chang-Kang Hu, Jiawei Qiu, Paulo J. Paulino +16 more

Abstract Quantum batteries are miniature energy storage devices and play a very important role in quantum thermodynamics. In recent years, quantum batteries have been extensively studied, but limited in theoretical level. Here we report the experimental realization of a quantum battery based on superconducting qutrit. Our model explores dark and bright states to achieve stable and powerful charging processes, respectively. Our scheme makes use of the quantum adiabatic brachistochrone, which allows us to speed up the battery ergotropy injection. Due to the inherent interaction of the system with its surrounding, the battery exhibits a self-discharge, which is shown to be described by a supercapacitor-like self-discharging mechanism. Our results paves the way for proposals of new superconducting circuits able to store extractable work for further usage.

Quantum battery optimized by parametric amplification

Fang-Mei Yang, Jun-Hong An, Fu-Quan Dou

The parametric amplification enabled by two-photon driving constitutes a versatile platform for advanced quantum technologies. We present an optimized scheme for implementing quantum batteries (QBs) based on a superconducting circuit system, where a two-photon-driven LC resonator serves as the charger and an array of transmon qubits functions as the battery. Our results show that two-photon parametric driving exponentially enhances the effective cavity-qubit coupling, which in turn gives rise to near-degenerate energy-level structures and highly entangled quantum states. This significantly enhances the charging power and enables rapid energy transfer from the charger to the battery. Moreover, the engineered squeezed cavity mode and the associated quantum correlations effectively suppress environmentally induced decoherence, thereby delaying energy leakage and facilitating stable energy storage. The proposed scheme remains robust against practical experimental imperfections, such as parameter disorder and environmental noise, preserving its performance advantages. The work provides a feasible platform for realizing high-power, high-stability QBs and highlights the potential of parametric control in quantum energy technologies.

Hybrid Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Battery: Nonclassicality and Energy Performance

G. Sharvan Prakash, R. Muthuganesan

We propose and analyze a hybrid qubit-qutrit quantum battery (QB) based on a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 system interacting via an anisotropic Heisenberg exchange coupling in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The nonclassical properties of the system are characterized using the l1-norm of coherence and negativity, which quantify quantum coherence and entanglement, respectively. The performance of the quantum battery is evaluated through key indicators such as ergotropy, power, and capacity. Our results reveal that both ergotropy and power exhibit oscillatory dynamics, while the capacity remains constant over time. We further investigate the influence of system parameters and magnetic field strength on both quantum correlations and battery performance, demonstrating that nonclassicality plays a crucial role in enhancing energy-storage efficiency. Importantly, we establish a connection between the theoretical model and an experimentally realizable nickel-radical molecular complex, showing that quantum coherence, entanglement, and efficient energy storage persist even at room temperature. These findings provide a realistic pathway toward the implementation of hybrid qubit-qutrit quantum batteries in solid-state molecular platforms.

Chiral quantum batteries

Rong-Fang Liu, Wan-Lu Song, Wan-Li Yang +2 more

Exploiting quantum effects for energy storage, quantum batteries (QBs) offer compelling advantages over conventional ones in terms of superior energy density, ultrafast charging, and high conversion efficiency. However, their realization is hampered by decoherence, which causes incomplete charging, rapid self-discharging, and reduced extractable work. Here, we propose a QB architecture based on a chiral magnonic platform. It comprises two yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres, one serving as the charger and the other as the QB, coupled to a waveguide. The unique chiral coupling between magnons and the guided electromagnetic fields breaks inversion symmetry, inducing both nonreciprocal energy flow and coherent interference between the charger and QB. Their synergy endows our QB with a 34-fold increase in energy capacity and a 55-fold boost in extractable work compared to its achiral counterpart in an experimentally accessible regime. Our scheme harnesses the decoherence from the electromagnetic fields and turns its destruction into an asset, which enables the robustness and wireless-like remote charging features of the QB. Our analysis reveals that these extraordinary capabilities stem from quantum coherence. By establishing chirality as a useful quantum resource, our work paves a viable path toward the realization of QBs.

Quantum charging and correlation effects in a two double quantum dot battery

Khalil Loukhssami, Khadija El Hawary, Hicham Ait Mansour +1 more

Abstract Quantum batteries (QBs) have been proposed as devices that exploit the advantage of quantum resources, such as coherence and entanglement, to improve charging performance. In this study, we theoretically investigate a QB model based on two coupled double quantum dots (TDQDs) implemented on the well-established AlGaAs/GaAs platform for quantum nanodevice fabrication. Using ergotropy and power as key performance indicators, we examine how various system parameters affect the energy performance of the QB. Our study begins with an analysis of quantum resources in the QB’s initial state, followed by an examination of how control parameters that influence these resources impact the modeling and performance of the battery. Our results demonstrate that increasing the energy offset improves ergotropy and power but reduces quantum correlations. Conversely, increasing tunneling couplings leads to a non-monotonic variation in the maximum ergotropy, which peaks at a certain point before decreasing, closely following the behavior of quantum entanglement despite continued growth in quantum coherence. This highlights the feasibility of efficient energy storage in quantum dots (QDs) for use in quantum batteries (QBs). It also emphasizes that coherence alone is insufficient for optimal performance and that other quantum correlations are necessary and must be carefully considered to fully exploit the potential of quantum resources.
