• Abstract: Exploiting quantum effects for energy storage, quantum batteries (QBs) offer compelling advantages over conventional ones in terms of superior energy density, ultrafast charging, and high conversion efficiency. However, their realization is hampered by decoherence, which causes incomplete charging, rapid self-discharging, and reduced extractable work. Here, we propose a QB architecture based on a chiral magnonic platform. It comprises two yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres, one serving as the charger and the other as the QB, coupled to a waveguide. The unique chiral coupling between magnons and the guided electromagnetic fields breaks inversion symmetry, inducing both nonreciprocal energy flow and coherent interference between the charger and QB. Their synergy endows our QB with a 34-fold increase in energy capacity and a 55-fold boost in extractable work compared to its achiral counterpart in an experimentally accessible regime. Our scheme harnesses the decoherence from the electromagnetic fields and turns its destruction into an asset, which enables the robustness and wireless-like remote charging features of the QB. Our analysis reveals that these extraordinary capabilities stem from quantum coherence. By establishing chirality as a useful quantum resource, our work paves a viable path toward the realization of QBs.

  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.

• Remote Charging and Degradation Suppression for the Quantum Battery [8.059511517776805]
  The quantum battery (QB) makes use of quantum effects to store and supply energy, which may outperform its classical counterpart. One is that the environment-induced decoherence causes the energy loss and aging of the QB, the other is that the decreasing of the charger-QB coupling strength with increasing their distance makes the charging of the QB become inefficient. Here, we propose a QB scheme to realize a remote charging via coupling the QB and the charger to a rectangular hollow metal waveguide.
