• Abstract: Operations performing on quantum batteries are extended to scenarios where we no longer force the existence of definite causal order of occurrence between distinct processes. In contrast to standard theories, the so called indefinite causal order is found to have the capability of accomplishing tasks that are not possible without it. Specifically, we show how this novel class of resource comes into play in quantum batteries by first, combining two static unitary chargers into a coherently superposed one to fully charge an empty battery even if in the presence of battery's local Hamiltonian. Then we demonstrate for a non-unitary charging protocol, the indefinite causal order version charger yields a charged battery with higher energy over its classical counterpart under any conditions. We also have a finding that runs counter to our intuition which, roughly speaking, has the implication that a relatively less powerful charger guarantees a charged battery with higher energy. Finally, to reduce the cost imposed by a measurement-based protection scheme, indefinite causal order shows its potential to fulfill this goal.

  We implement parameterized quantum circuits with definite and indefinite causal order. One of these is the expressibility, which measures how uniformly a given quantum circuit can reach the whole Hilbert space. We find a correlation between the quantum average causal effect and the entangling power.

  A central question since the beginning of quantum information science is how two distant parties can convert one entangled state into another. It has been conjectured that entangled state transformations could be executed reversibly in an regime, mirroring the nature of Carnot cycles in classical thermodynamics. We investigate the concept of an entanglement battery, an auxiliary quantum system that facilitates quantum state transformations without a net loss of entanglement.

  In the classical regime, thermodynamic state transformations are governed by the free energy. In the quantum regime, coherence and free energy are two independent resources. We show that allowing along with a source of free energy allows us to amplify any quantum coherence present in the quantum state arbitrarily.

We show that the quantum state advantage of battery charging, defined as the power obtainable for given quantum speed limit and battery energy gap, is not an entanglement monotone.
