• Abstract summary: Quantum correlations that typically develop between a quantum battery and its charger reduce the amount of work extractable from the battery.<n>We show that by coupling the system with an additional environment that can be continuously monitored, one can weaken these correlations and enhance work extraction beyond what is achievable in the ideal (closed system) limit.

• Abstract: Quantum correlations that typically develop between a quantum battery and its charger reduce the amount of work extractable from the battery. We show that by coupling the system with an additional environment that can be continuously monitored, one can weaken these correlations and enhance work extraction beyond what is achievable in the ideal (closed system) limit. This general mechanism is illustrated using both a cavity-mediated spin-spin and Dicke quantum battery models.

  We investigate the problem of work extraction from a cavity-based quantum battery that is remotely charged via a transmission line.<n>For uniform coupling along the line, we show that the ergotropy of the battery, evaluated at the point of maximum power transfer, decreases with the length of the charging line.<n>By carefully engineering the initial state of the charger, nonzero ergotropy can still be harvested even beyond this critical length.

• Quantum advantage in charging cavity and spin batteries by repeated interactions [0.0]
  Recently, an unconditional advantage has been demonstrated for the process of charging of a quantum battery in a collisional model. We consider a model where the battery is modeled by a quantum harmonic oscillator or a large spin, charged via repeated interactions with a stream of non-equilibrium qubit units. For both setups, we show that a quantum protocol can significantly outperform the most general adaptive classical schemes.
