Abstract

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.

High-dimensional dynamics of a quantum battery driven by amplified multi-mode fields with stark shifts

Ahmed A. Zahia, L. Mashhor, M. M. A. Ahmed +1 more

Abstract This work presents a high-dimensional quantum battery model based on a V-type multi-level atom interacting with an amplified multi-mode cavity field under controllable Stark shifts. Using a nondimensionalized Hamiltonian and pair-coherent field states, we derive a full density-matrix description that captures the evolution of stored energy, ergotropy, charging efficiency, coherence, and entropy. Our findings show that multi-level quantum batteries outperform two-level systems by leveraging expanded Hilbert spaces to support larger energy storage, richer coherence, and multiple excitation pathways. The charging dynamics are strongly influenced by the field intensity, the shift between paired modes, and the Stark-induced detunings, which collectively determine resonance conditions and interference patterns. A fundamental trade-off emerges: increasing dimensions of quantum battery and field strength enhances energy uptake and coherence, but also raises entropy in the charger field, thereby reducing extractable work. A scaling analysis reveals robust and statistically significant behavioral laws, including quadratic growth of stored energy, exponential decay of efficiency, and exponential increases in coherence and entropy with system dimension. These results outline the energetic and informational limits of high-dimensional quantum batteries and establish a flexible, physically realistic framework for optimizing quantum charging in cavity and circuit QED platforms.

Enhancing the Charging Performance of an Atomic Quantum Battery

Ming‐Liang Hu, Ting Gao, Heng Fan

Abstract A quantum battery (QB) model composed of two atoms is studied, where the charger and battery elements are coupled to a multimode vacuum field that serves as the mediator for energy transfer. Different figures of merit such as ergotropy, charging time, and charging efficiency are analyzed, putting emphasis on the role of various control parameters on the charging performance. It is found that there is a range of angle between the transition dipole moments and interatomic axis in which the QB can be charged, and the optimal performance is achieved when the dipole moments are parallel to the interatomic axis. The charging performance also improves with the decrease of the interatomic distance. Besides, the ergotropy charged on the QB can be enhanced by enhancing the initial charger ergotropy and it is beneficial to charge the QB starting from its ground state.

Two-mode Raman quantum battery dependent on coupling strength

Lu Wang, Shu-Qian Liu, Feng-Lin Wu +2 more

We investigate a series of two-mode quantum batteries (QBs) which exhibits better performance in both the stored energy and average charging power compared to the two-photon case. In both the model related to coupling strength and Raman cases, we find the QBs can store energy faster and have a higher efficiency than the original case. Among the derived models we have studied, the two-mode Raman QB dependent on coupling strength has the best performance. We also present the relationship between the ergotropy and battery-charger entanglement of incoherent QBs and define the resource utilization efficiency $k(t)$ and ${k}^{\mathrm{ins}}(t)$. We find that entanglement in the energy-extraction stage is a key resource. In addition, we consider a collection of two-level systems embedded in a two-mode microwave cavity with counterrotating terms, which shows that the counterrotating terms lead to a higher stored energy in the ultrastrong-coupling regime.

Performance of quantum batteries with correlated and uncorrelated chargers

Mohammad B. Arjmandi, Abbas Shokri, E. Faizi +1 more

Energy can be stored in quantum batteries by electromagnetic fields as chargers. In this paper, the performance of a quantum battery with single and double chargers is studied. It is shown that by using two independent charging fields, prepared in coherent states, the charging power of the quantum battery can be significantly improved, though the average number of embedded photons are kept the same in both scenarios. The results reveal that for the case of initially correlated states of the chargers, the amount of extractable energy, measured by ergotropy, is more than initially uncorrelated ones, with appropriate degrees of field intensity. Though the correlated chargers lead to greater reduction in the purity of the quantum battery, more energy and in turn more ergotropy are stored in this case. In addition, we study the battery-charger mutual information and von Neumann entropy and by using their relation we find that both quantum and classical correlations are generated between the quantum battery and chargers. We also study quantum consonance of the battery as the nonlocal coherence among its cells and find some qualitative relations between the generation of such correlations and the capability of energy storage in the quantum battery.

Enhancement of Charging Performance of Micromaser Quantum Battery via Classical Driving Field and Optical Parametric Amplifier

Jia Zuo, Sumei Huang, Li Deng +1 more

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.

Collective Charging Dynamics and Work Extraction in Multi‐Atom Quantum Batteries

Zefeng Huang, Yu Zhao, Zheng Wang +3 more

ABSTRACT We investigate a quantum battery within an open quantum system, in which a harmonic oscillator acts as the charger and two‐level atoms serve as battery cells. This model accounts for the dissipative effects arising from the coupling between both the charger and battery cells with the environment. By analyzing the time evolution of the battery energy, charging power, ergotropy, and logarithmic negativity, we systematically examine the influence of the number of battery cells and environmental dissipation on battery performance. Our results show that increasing significantly enhances the charging power, exhibiting a collective enhancement effect. Both the atomic number and environmental dissipation strongly affect the ergotropy per atom, but their influences are distinct.
