Mechanism of controlling robust and stable charging of open quantum batteries

Abstract

Quality of charging and discharging of energy in quantum batteries are mostly affected by environmental dissipations, so the advantages of using such devices depend on the protection of them from the dissipations. In this work, we show that under a certain engineering of coupling strengths of each reservoir modes with elements of charging process (charger and battery), the extension of dissipative reservoir leads to a robust charging against the arisen dissipation. The extension of reservoir is provided by auxiliary systems each of which is similar to the coupled charger–battery system and has the same interactions with the reservoir modes as of the charger and battery constituents. It is demonstrated that the robustness of charging process is well controlled by the number of involved auxiliary systems. Furthermore, a method for stable charging is proposed which provides storing energy in a loss-free dark state of the battery. Also, we observe that the robustness of charging process is related to formation of bound state for the total system (charger–battery-extended reservoir) which in turns can be manipulated by the number of involved auxiliary systems.
