The idea behind quantum batteries is rooted in the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement may be harnessed to enhance the storage and release of energy in a battery system.
While this quantum 'battery' is more like a network of lasers on a lab bench, and years away from any practical applications, it's still a cool demonstration of the underlying principles and what could be possible sometime in the future – if it hasn't already happened in the past. The study has been published in Physical Review Letters.
These correlations underpin the unique properties of quantum batteries. Quantum batteries are a redesign of energy storage devices from the bottom up. They are modeled with the simplest quantum energy storage system: a collection of identical qubits, which can be sub-atomic particles, atoms or molecules.
The charging rate of quantum batteries, however, is a superextensive property, as it grows exponentially with size: the charging per unit scales with N, meaning that quantum batteries with larger capacity actually take less time to charge, a counterintuitive and fascinating behavior radically different from that of classical batteries.
Considering the interactions between atoms, we find that the energy storage of quantum batteries will be significantly enhanced with the increase of atomic repulsion, and the attraction between atoms will exacerbate the dissipation of batteries in the environment.
Fang-Mei Yang and Fu-Quan Dou * 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.
