- Abstract: We demonstrate that an all-to-all coupled spin-chain model of a quantum battery with 2-local interactions exhibits superextensive charging when analysed using the upper bound derived from the uncertainty principle. Unlike the previously studied models in the literature, the contribution to this apparent quantum advantage arises from both the battery and the charger, and it does not require long-range couplings. However, on closer analysis of the charging using the battery evolution in the energy eigenspace, the advantage vanishes. Moreover, this tighter bound can also fail in certain physical situations. One has to exercise caution and compute the actual power transferred before claiming a quantum advantage.

Energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries.
One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system.
We propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm.
