Floquet Engineering to Reactivate a Dissipative Quantum Battery

Quantum Physics 2021-05-21 v2

Abstract

As an energy storing and converting device near atomic size, a quantum battery (QB) promises enhanced charging power and extractable work using quantum resources. However, the ubiquitous decoherence causes its cyclic charging-storing-discharging process to become deactivated, which is called aging of the QB. Here, we propose a mechanism to overcome the aging of a QB. It is found that the decoherence of the QB is suppressed when two Floquet bound states (FBSs) are formed in the quasienergy spectrum of the total system consisting of the QB-charger setup and their respective environments. As long as either the quasienergies of the two FBSs are degenerate or the QB-charger coupling is large in the presence of two FBSs, the QB exposed to the dissipative environments returns to its near-ideal cyclic stage. Our result supplies an insightful guideline to realize the QB in practice using Floquet engineering.
