Beneficial and detrimental entanglement for quantum battery charging

Ju-Yeon Gyhm, Uwe R. Fischer

We establish a general implementation-independent approach to assess the potential advantage of using highly entangled quantum states between the initial and final states of the charging protocol to enhance the maximum charging power of quantum batteries. It is shown that the impact of entanglement on power can be separated from both the global quantum speed limit associated with an optimal choice of driving Hamiltonian and the energy gap of the batteries. We then demonstrate that the quantum state advantage of battery charging, defined as the power obtainable for given quantum speed limit and battery energy gap, is not an entanglement monotone. A striking example we provide is that, counterintuitively, independent thermalization of the local batteries, completely destroying any entanglement, can lead to larger charging power than that of the initial maximally entangled state. Highly entangled states can thus also be potentially disadvantageous when compared to product states. We also demonstrate that taking the considerable effort of producing highly entangled states, such as W or k-locally entangled states, is not sufficient to obtain quantum-enhanced scaling behavior with the number of battery cells. Finally, we perform an explicit computation for a Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev battery charger to demonstrate that the quantum state advantage allows the instantaneous power to exceed its classical bound.

Algebraic power scaling in a slowly-quenched bosonic quantum battery

Donny Dwiputra, Ahmad R. T. Nugraha, Sasfan A. Wella +1 more

Bosonic modes provide a promising platform for quantum batteries as a result of their unbounded energy spectrum. However, the energy that can be stored during a coherent charging process is limited due to coherent oscillations between the charger and battery. In this work, we show that by introducing a slow quench in the interaction between a coherently driven charger mode and a quadratic oscillator battery, the maximum stored energy and maximum battery power scale algebraically with the quench duration, with exponents controlled by the ramp profile. This finding implies that, quite counterintuitively, slower quenches lead to faster charging. Such a quench suppresses coherent energy oscillations between the battery and the charger, allowing an unbounded increase in power. We further show that, in the ideal closed protocol, the stored energy is fully extractable as ergotropy, while charger dissipation converts the algebraic enhancement into a finite-time scaling window with an optimal quench duration. We also show that the temporal-extensive scaling occurs in a broader context by mapping the system to a coherently driven Tavis-Cummings battery. Finally, we discuss experimentally accessible signatures in superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics and organic microcavity platforms.

Optimal state for a Tavis-Cummings quantum battery via the Bethe ansatz method

Wangjun Lu, Jie Chen, Le‐Man Kuang +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the effect of different optical field initial states on the performance of the Tavis-Cummings (TC) quantum battery. In solving the dynamical evolution of the system, we found a fast way to solve the Bethe ansatz equation. We find that the stored energy and the average charging power of the TC quantum battery are closely related to the probability distribution of the optical field initial state in the number states. We define a quantity called the number-state stored energy. With this prescribed quantity, we only need to know the probability distribution of the optical field initial state in the number states to obtain the stored energy and the average charging power of the TC quantum battery at any time. We propose an equal probability and equal expected value splitting method by which we can obtain two inequalities, and the two inequalities can be reduced to Jensen's inequalities. By this method, we found the optimal initial state of the optical field. We found that the maximum stored energy and the maximum average charging power of the TC quantum battery are proportional to the initial average photon number, and the quantum battery can be fully charged when the initial average photon number is large enough. We found two phenomena, which can be described by two empirical inequalities. These two phenomena imply the hypersensitivity of the stored energy of the TC quantum battery to the number-state cavity field. Finally, we discuss the impact of decoherence on battery performance.
