High‐Efficiency and Noise‐Immune Quantum Battery

Abstract

ABSTRACT Nowadays, quantum batteries (QBs) have been designed to outperform their classical counterparts by leveraging quantum advantages. For instance, the charging power greatly benefits from global charging protocols (e.g., the Dicke QB), especially in the ultrastrong coupling regime or even larger. However, apart from the fragility of QB under intrinsic decoherence, another critical drawback emerges inevitably. Specifically, the non‐negligible counter‐rotating term in the ultrastrong regime would induce coherence in the energy basis of QB, thus remarkably degrading the charging efficiency. To tackle these challenges, we propose a high‐efficiency and noise‐immune QB boosted by dynamical modulation. It is demonstrated that the modulation can effectively reduce the counter‐rotating coupling, resulting in a notable improvement in charging efficiency. Particularly, for a judicious choice of modulation parameters, the QB can be charged optimally. In the subsequent storage process, beyond the natural robustness to pure dephasing noise, our scenario is also highly resilient to the dissipation noise and thus can achieve perfect energy storage by effective bath engineering. While feasible with current experimental platforms, our proposal offers a solid foundation for the implementation of a powerful QB and may drastically promote the development of energy storage and delivery techniques in the future.

High-efficiency and noise-immune quantum battery

Guohui Dong, Mengqi Yu, Yao Yao

Nowadays, quantum batteries (QBs) have been designed to outperform their classical counterparts by leveraging quantum advantages. For instance, the charging power greatly benefits from the entanglement generation of a collective charging scheme (e.g., the Dicke QB), especially in the ultrastrong coupling (USC) regime or even larger. However, apart from the fragility of the QB under intrinsic decoherence effects, another critical drawback emerges inevitably. Specifically, the non-negligible counter-rotating (CR) term in the USC regime would induce coherence in the energy basis of QB, thus remarkably degrading the charging efficiency. To tackle these challenges, we propose a high-efficiency and noise-immune QB boosted by dynamical modulation. It is demonstrated that the time-varying modulation can effectively reduce the CR coupling, resulting in a notable improvement in charging efficiency. Particularly, for a judicious choice of modulation parameters that entirely eliminate the CR interaction, the Dicke QB can be charged optimally, resembling the behavior of the Tavis-Cummings QB. In the subsequent storage process, beyond the natural robustness to pure dephasing noise, our scenario is also highly resilient to the dissipation noise and thus can achieve perfect energy storage by effective bath engineering. While feasible with current experimental platforms, our proposal offers a solid foundation for the implementation of a powerful QB and may drastically promote the development of energy storage and delivery techniques in the future.

Suppressing Degradation in Quantum Batteries by Electromagnetically‐Induced Transparency

Jin‐Tian Zhang, Chengge Liu, Qing Ai

Abstract Quantum batteries (QBs), as emerging quantum devices for energy storage and transfer, have attracted significant attention due to their potential to surpass classical batteries in charging efficiency and energy density. However, interactions between a QB and its environment result in decoherence, which significantly reduces its operational lifespan. In this work, the aging of QBs is proposed to be suppressed by introducing the electromagnetically‐induced transparency (EIT). Specifically, a four‐level atom is modeled as a QB with an effective two‐level system enabled by the EIT, while the photons in the cavity serve as the energy charger. By comparing the energy and extractable work of the QB with and without the EIT effect, it is demonstrated that the QBs incorporating the EIT exhibit enhanced resistance to spontaneous decay as compared to their counterparts without the EIT. It is believed that the findings may provide valuable insights and shed the light on the design principles for mitigating the degradation of the QBs.

Quantum batteries in coherent Ising machine

Jin-Tian Zhang, Shuang-Quan Ma, Jing-Yi-Ran Jin +2 more

With intensive studies of quantum thermodynamics, quantum batteries (QBs) have been proposed to store and transfer energy via quantum effects. Despite many theoretical models, decoherence remains a severe challenge and practical platforms are still rare. Here, we propose a QB based on the coherent Ising machine, in which the signal field acts as the core energy-storage unit. To clarify the role of quantum coherence in resisting dissipation, we decompose the ergotropy, i.e., the maximum extractable work from the QB, into its coherent and incoherent components. We find that the coherent part decays at a rate roughly half that of the incoherent part, exhibiting much stronger robustness against decoherence. More importantly, the coherent ergotropy and the average charging power reach their respective maxima at essentially the same moment, which defines the optimal instant to switch off the pump field. Finally, by coupling the QB to a two-level system as the load, we demonstrate an efficient energy discharge process of the proposed QB. Our work establishes a realistic and immediately-implementable QB architecture on a mature optical platform, laying a foundation for experimental exploration of quantum energy storage.

Fast Charging of Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick Quantum Battery

Cheng‐Jie Wang, Yuan‐Jin Wang, Fu-Quan Dou

ABSTRACT Fast charging is a pivotal and fundamental performance metric in quantum battery (QB) research. Here, we investigate the fast‐charging performance of the Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick QB based on shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA). We mainly consider a scenario where the coupling strength between arbitrary two sites in the QB varies sinusoidally over time. We demonstrate that the STA protocol can remarkably enhance the charging efficiency. During the charging cycle, STA drives the periodic evolution of stored energy, coherence relative entropy, and energy fluctuations, and effectively suppresses energy fluctuation magnitude. We reveal that quantum coherence serves as a crucial quantum resource for boosting the charging efficiency of a QB. We analyze the influences of the anisotropy parameter, driving field amplitude and frequency, as well as particle number on the overall battery performance and show that efficient charging and prominent charging advantages can be realized by modulating these physical parameters. We further evaluate the energy cost throughout the charging process, and confirm that the maximum energy cost per particle can be reduced via appropriate tuning of driving field parameters. Our results offer valuable insights into the optimal design and practical implementation of high‐efficiency fast‐charging QB.

Optimal performances of a quantum battery via non-Markovian bath modulation

Yong Li, Renfeng Liu, Jia-Bin You +2 more

In the field of quantum thermodynamics, optimizing the performance of quantum battery (QB) under environmental effects remains a primary research interest. However, environmental control remains challenging due to its high-dimensional degrees of freedom, particularly in the non-Markovian regimes. This work investigates the charging dynamics of a QB model subjected to a tunable non-Markovian environment. We show that a controllable non-Markovian setting can be exploited to improve the QB's primary figure of merit. Specifically, we show that by tuning the relative ratio of QB-charger coupling strength and charger-bath coupling strength, the maximum dynamic values of the charging power, energy storage, and work extraction of QB can be significantly increased. Our findings suggest that employing non-Markovian effects in a tunable way offers a promising avenue for enhancing the performance of quantum thermodynamic devices, and sheds new light on the intersection between the reservior engneering and quantum thermodynamics.

Amplified quantum battery via dynamical modulation

Maryam Hadipour, Negar Nikdel Yousefi, Ali Mortezapour +2 more

We investigate the charging dynamics of a frequency-modulated quantum battery (QB) placed within a dissipative cavity environment. Our study focuses on the interaction of such a battery under both weak and strong coupling regimes, employing a model in which the quantum battery and charger are represented as frequency-modulated qubits indirectly coupled through a zero-temperature environment. It is demonstrated that both the modulation frequency and amplitude are crucial for optimizing the charging process and the ergotropy of the quantum battery. Specifically, high-amplitude, low-frequency modulation significantly enhances charging performance and work extraction in the strong coupling regime. As an intriguing result, it is deduced that modulation at very low frequencies leads to the emergence of energy storage and work extraction in the weak coupling regime. Such a result can never be achieved without modulation in the weak coupling regime. These results highlight the importance of adjusting modulation parameters to optimize the performance of quantum batteries for real-world applications in quantum technologies.
