Ergotropy from Geometric Phases in a Dephasing Qubit

We analyze the geometric phase and dynamic phase acquired by a qubit coupled to an environment through pure dephasing, establishing a direct connection between phase accumulation and ergotropy. We show that the dynamic phase depends solely on the incoherent ergotropy, reflecting its purely energetic origin. In contrast, the geometric phase exhibits a nontrivial dependence on both the coherent and incoherent contributions to the total ergotropy, encoding the interplay between coherence, dissipation, and energy extraction. By performing a perturbative expansion in the qubit-environment coupling strength, we demonstrate that, in the weak-coupling and long-time regime, the geometric phase becomes determined exclusively by the incoherent ergotropy, which coincides with the asymptotic value of the total ergotropy reached under decoherence. These results provide a clear physical distinction between dynamic and geometric phases in open quantum systems and establish geometric phases as sensitive probes of energetic resources. Furthermore,~in superconducting circuit implementations, our findings suggest that the ergotropy of a two-level system could be inferred indirectly from geometric-phase measurements using standard techniques such as quantum state tomography.
