Performance of quantum batteries with correlated and uncorrelated chargers

Abstract

Energy can be stored in quantum batteries by electromagnetic fields as chargers. In this paper, the performance of a quantum battery with single and double chargers is studied. It is shown that by using two independent charging fields, prepared in coherent states, charging power of the quantum battery can be significantly improved, though the average number of embedded photons are kept the same in both scenarios. Then the results reveal that for the case of initially correlated states of the chargers the amount of extractable energy, measured by ergotropy, is more than initially uncorrelated ones, with appropriate degrees of field's intensities. Though the correlated chargers lead to greater reduction in purity of quantum battery, more energy and in turn, more ergotropy is stored in this case. In addition, we study the battery-charger mutual information and Von Neumann entropy and by using their relation, we find that both quantum and classical correlations are generated between the quantum battery and chargers. Then we study quantum consonance of the battery as the non-local coherence among it's cells and find some qualitative relations between the generation of such correlations and the capability of energy storage in the quantum battery.
