Abstract

In this paper, we propose a scheme where the charging performance of micromaser quantum batteries can be improved. Our physical system includes a quantized cavity field interacting with a series of identical two-level atoms one by one. In order to improve the performance of the battery, two methods are introduced: one is using a controlling field to drive atoms, and the other is placing OPA crystals in the cavity. Under these different methods, we discuss the influence of different parameters on battery capacity. Finally, combining the two methods for charging yields better results than using either of them alone. These protocols are found to be stable and robust, and most of the stored energy in the quantum batteries can be extracted for work. Our scheme has a potential applications in quantum energy storage devices.

Performance Analysis of a Two‐Mode Micromaser Quantum Battery

Kowsar. Alsadat Mousavitaha, Varinder Singh, Özgür Esat Müstecaplıoğlu

Abstract A two‐mode micromaser quantum battery (QB) is investigated, where a quantized cavity field is charged by a stream of V‐type three‐level atoms. Within an open quantum systems framework, stored energy, ergotropy, charging power, and fluctuations are analyzed under different coherence conditions of the atomic charger. It is first showed that coherence between the two degenerate excited states of the charger enhances both the average stored energy and the amount of extractable work. Using the concept of global ergotropy, it is further demonstrated that correlations between the two cavity modes enable work extraction beyond the local contributions. Furthermore, it is shown that, among the different coherence configurations, ground–excited state coherence emerges as the most effective, simultaneously enhancing energy storage, extractable work, and stability. Finally, by applying a geometric power bound based on Fisher information and energy variance, it is showed that coherent charging protocols approach the ultimate charging limit more closely than incoherent ones. These findings establish atomic coherence and intermode correlations as valuable thermodynamic resources and highlight the two‐mode micromaser as a minimal yet versatile platform for multimode quantum batteries.

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.

Parametrically Enhanced Ergotropy and Charging Power in a Three-Mode Bosonic Quantum Battery

Mustapha Tarboun, Mohamed Amazioug

Quantum batteries are quantum systems that potentially serve as fuel for other quantum devices by receiving and supplying energy. In this work, we propose a theoretical scheme to enhance ergotropy and charging power of quantum Battery in the system under consideration through squeezed light. Moreover, The system comprises a coherently driven charger cavity, a strongly dissipative auxiliary cavity acting as a mediator, and an energy--storage battery cavity. Quantum nonreciprocity and directional energy flow are established via destructive quantum interference between the direct coupling path and the loss--engineered indirect path. A degenerate optical parametric amplifier integrated into the charger cavity acts as an active, phase--sensitive energy source that injects two--photon quantum excitations and anomalous correlations. Using a strictly open--quantum--system framework derived directly from the Lindblad master equation, we obtain the full expectation--value dynamics and stationary states. We show that active parametric driving drastically increases the stored energy and peak charging power while maintaining nonreciprocal energy trapping in the battery. We achieve a multi-order-of-magnitude boost in the battery's stored energy, charging power, and ergotropy. We also analyze the effects of pure dephasing on the charging power, ergotropy, and extractable work quality.. Although two--photon pumping introduces photon--number fluctuations that slightly lower the fractional ergotropy ratio ${\cal W}_{\rm B}/{\cal E}_{\rm B}$, the absolute extractable work remains substantially elevated compared to unassisted configurations.

Quantum battery based on dipole-dipole interaction and external driving field

Wuji Zhang, Shuyue Wang, Chunfeng Wu +1 more

The Dicke model is a fundamental model in quantum optics, which describes the interaction between quantum cavity field and a large ensemble of two-level atoms. In this work, we propose an efficient charging quantum battery achieved by considering an extension Dicke model with dipole-dipole interaction and an external driving field. We focus on the influence of the atomic interaction and the driving field on the performance of the quantum battery during the charging process and find that the maximum stored energy exhibits a critical phenomenon. The maximum stored energy and maximum charging power are investigated by varying the number of atoms. When the coupling between atoms and cavity is not very strong, compared to the Dicke quantum battery, such quantum battery can achieve more stable and faster charging. In addition, the maximum charging power approximately satisfies a superlinear scaling relation P_{max}∝βN^{α}, where the quantum advantage α=1.6 can be reached via optimizing the parameters.

Quantum Battery Enhancement via Degenerate Optical Parametric Amplifier and Common Reservoirs

Y. Y. 彦云 Yang 杨, H. B. Liu, Gangcheng Wang +2 more

We investigate a nonreciprocal quantum battery in which the charger and battery share one or two common reservoirs, with the charger driven by a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (DOPA). Reservoir-mediated dissipative interactions enable directional energy transfer, while the DOPA provides additional parametric am plification. We show that, in the stable below-threshold regime, the DOPA can enhance the battery energy and average charging power, with the nonlinear gain and pump phase providing effective control of the charging dynamics. Further optimization of the dissipative-coupling asymmetry improves the stored energy. These fea tures persist for both single- and two-common-reservoir configurations, demonstrating a tunable strategy for enhancing open-system quantum-battery charging.

Enhancing the efficiency of open quantum batteries via adjusting the classical driving field

Maryam Hadipour, Soroush Haseli

Abstract In the context of quantum information, a quantum battery refers to a system composed of quantum particles that can store and release energy in a way that is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. The study of open quantum batteries is motivated by the fact that real-world quantum systems are almost never perfectly isolated from their environment. One important challenge in the study of open quantum batteries is to develop theoretical models that accurately capture the complex interactions between the battery and its environment. the goal of studying open quantum batteries is to develop practical methods for building and operating quantum devices that can store and release energy with high efficiency and reliability, even in the presence of environmental noise and other sources of decoherence. The charging process of open quantum batteries under the influence of dissipative environment will be studied. In this Work, the effect of the classical driving field on the charging process of open quantum batteries will be investigated. The classical driving field can be used to manipulate the charging and discharging process of the battery, leading to enhanced performance and improved efficiency. It also will be showed that the efficiency of open quantum batteries depends on detuning between the qubit and the classical driving field and central frequency of the cavity and the classical driving field.
