Quantum coherences, correlations and collective effects can be harnessed to the advantage of quantum batteries. Here, we introduce a feasible structure engineering scheme that is applicable to spin-based open quantum batteries. Our scheme, which builds solely upon a modulation of spin energy gaps, allows engineered quantum batteries to exploit spin-spin correlations for mitigating environment-induced aging. As a result of this advantage, an engineered quantum battery can preserve relatively more energy as compared with its non-engineered counterpart over the course of the storage phase. Particularly, the excess in stored energy is independent of system size. This implies a scale-invariant passive protection strategy, which we demonstrate on an engineered quantum battery with staggered spin energy gaps. Our findings establish structure engineering as a useful route for advancing quantum batteries, and bring new perspectives on efficient quantum battery designs.
The quantum critical detector (QCD), recently introduced for weak-signal amplification [Opt. Express 27, 10482 (2019)], functions by exploiting high sensitivity near the phase transition point of first-order quantum phase transitions. We contrast the
Continuously monitoring the environment of a quantum many-body system reduces the entropy of (purifies) the reduced density matrix of the system, conditional on the outcomes of the measurements. We show that, for mixed initial states, a balanced comp
We apply quantum trajectory techniques to analyze a realistic set-up of a superconducting qubit coupled to a heat bath formed by a resistor, a system that yields explicit expressions of the relevant transition rates to be used in the analysis. We dis
Crossing a quantum critical point in finite time challenges the adiabatic condition due to the closing of the energy gap, which ultimately results in the formation of excitations. Such non-adiabatic excitations are typically deemed detrimental in man
Maxwells demon explores the role of information in physical processes. Employing information about microscopic degrees of freedom, this intelligent observer is capable of compensating entropy production (or extracting work), apparently challenging th
