• Authors: Jitendra Joshi, T. S Mahesh,
• Abstract summary: We propose and experimentally demonstrate a feedback-based algorithm (FQErgo) for estimating ergotropy. FQErgo applies drive fields whose strengths are iteratively adjusted via certain expectation values, conveniently read using a single probe qubit. By numerically analyzing FQErgo on random initial states, we confirm the successful preparation of passive states and estimation of ergotropy.

• Abstract: Considering the emerging applications of quantum technologies, studying energy storage and usage at the quantum level is of great interest. In this context, there is a significant contemporary interest in studying ergotropy, the maximum amount of work that can be extracted unitarily from an energy-storing quantum device. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a feedback-based algorithm (FQErgo) for estimating ergotropy. This method also transforms an arbitrary initial state to its passive state, which allows no further unitary work extraction. FQErgo applies drive fields whose strengths are iteratively adjusted via certain expectation values, conveniently read using a single probe qubit. Thus, FQErgo provides a practical way for unitary energy extraction and for preparing passive states. By numerically analyzing FQErgo on random initial states, we confirm the successful preparation of passive states and estimation of ergotropy, even in the presence of drive errors. Finally, we implement FQErgo on two- and three-qubit NMR registers, prepare their passive states, and accurately estimate their ergotropy.

• Universal work extraction in quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  evaluating the maximum amount of work extractable from a nanoscale quantum system is one of the central problems in quantum thermodynamics. Previous works identified the free energy of the input state as the optimal rate of extractable work under the crucial assumption: experimenters know the description of the given quantum state. Here, we show that this optimal extractable work can be achieved without knowing the input states at all, removing the fundamental operational restrictions.

• Daemonic ergotropy in continuously-monitored open quantum batteries [0.0]
  daemonic ergotropy is introduced to properly describe and quantify this work extraction enhancement in the quantum regime. We show that the corresponding daemonic ergotropy takes values between the ergotropy and the energy of the corresponding unconditional state. The upper bound is achieved by assuming an initial pure state and a perfectly efficient projective measurement on the environment.

• Work extraction from unknown quantum sources [0.0]
  In quantum physics, ergotropy measures the amount of work extractable under cyclic Hamiltonian control. Here, we derive a new notion of ergotropy applicable when nothing is known about the quantum states produced by the source. We find that in this case the extracted work is defined by the Boltzmann and observational entropy, in cases where the measurement outcomes are, or are not, used in the work extraction.
