We analyze work extraction from a qubit into a wave guide (WG) acting as a battery, where work is the coherent component of the energy radiated by the qubit. The process is stimulated by a wave packet whose mean photon number (the batterys charge) can be adjusted. We show that the extracted work is bounded by the qubits ergotropy, and that the bound is saturated for a large enough batterys charge. If this charge is small, work can still be extracted. Its amount is controlled by the quantum coherence initially injected in the qubits state, that appears as a key parameter when energetic resources are limited. This new and autonomous scenario for the study of quantum batteries can be implemented with state-of-the-art artificial qubits coupled to WGs.
We quantitatively assess the energetic cost of several well-known control protocols that achieve a finite time adiabatic dynamics, namely counterdiabatic and local counterdiabatic driving, optimal control, and inverse engineering. By employing a cost
We discuss thermodynamic work cost of various stages of a quantum estimation protocol: probe and memory register preparation, measurement and extraction of work from post-measurement states. We consider both (i) a multi-shot scenario, where average w
We consider locally thermal states (for two qubits) with certain amount of quantum entanglement present between them. Unlike previous protocols we show how work can be extracted by performing local unitary operations on this state by allowing those t
We investigate how the presence of quantum correlations can influence work extraction in closed quantum systems, establishing a new link between the field of quantum non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the one of quantum information theory. We conside
We analyze the role of indirect quantum measurements in work extraction from quantum systems in nonequilibrium states. In particular, we focus on the work that can be obtained by exploiting the correlations shared between the system of interest and a
