In this work, we propose an open quantum battery that stores and releases energy by employing a two-mode ultrastrongly coupled bosonic system, with one mode (the charger) coupled to an independent heat reservoir. Our results demonstrate…

Achieving rapid and stable energy storage in quantum batteries (QBs) remains a key challenge, particularly under strong system-environment coupling where non-Markovian effects become prominent. While most previous studies focus on weak…
