Quantum advantage in batteries for Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev interactions

Quantum Physics 2024-12-24 v9

Abstract

A quantum advantage can be achieved in the unitary charging of quantum batteries if their cells are interacting. Here, we try to clarify with some analytical calculations whether and how this quantum advantage is achieved for sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) interactions and in general for fermionic interactions with disorder. To do this we perform a simple modelization of the interactions. In particular, we find that for qq-point rescaled sparse SYK interactions the quantum advantage goes as ΓNαq2+1\Gamma\sim N^{\frac{\alpha-q}{2}+1} for qαq/2q\geq\alpha\geq q/2 and ΓN1α2\Gamma\sim N^{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} for q/2>α0q/2>\alpha\geq 0, where α\alpha is related to the connectivity and NN is the number of cells. This shows how we can get ΓN\Gamma\sim N, i.e., an average power that scales as N2N^2 thanks to the disorder.
