Quantum batteries at the verge of a phase transition
Felipe Barra, Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Alberto Imparato
Starting from the observation that the reduced state of a system strongly coupled to a bath is, in general, an athermal state, we introduce and study a cyclic battery-charger quant…
Collective enhancement in dissipative quantum batteries
Javier Carrasco, Jerónimo R. Maze, Carla Hermann-Avigliano +1
We study a quantum battery made out of non-mutually interacting qubits coupled to a dissipative single electromagnetic field mode in a resonator. We quantify the charging energ…
Quantum collisional thermostats
Jorge Tabanera, Ines Luque, Samuel L. Jacob +3
Collisional reservoirs are becoming a major tool for modelling open quantum systems. In their simplest implementation, an external agent switches on, for a given time, the interact…
Quantum scattering as a work source
Samuel L. Jacob, Massimiliano Esposito, Juan M. R. Parrondo +1
We consider a collision between a moving particle and a fixed system, each having internal degrees of freedom. We identify the regime where the motion of the particle acts as a wor…
