• Abstract: Nonreciprocal quantum batteries offer superior charging performance compared to reciprocal quantum batteries. We consider a charger-battery system comprising two optical cavities that interact independently with a third auxiliary cavity. We show that the nonzero dissipation of the auxiliary cavity induces a nonreciprocal exchange of excitations among the charger-battery system. Therefore, by engineering the loss in the auxiliary cavity, we induce a directional energy flow that enhances the charging efficiency. Using numerical and analytical calculations, we show that the steady-state energy stored in the battery significantly exceeds that in the charger. We compare our results with those of the reciprocal cases and demonstrate that our nonreciprocal quantum battery model exhibits a significant charging advantage. We believe that our proposed scheme represents a step forward in cavity-loss engineering, making it a viable approach for nonreciprocal quantum batteries with existing experimental techniques.

  We introduce nonreciprocity through reservoir engineering during the charging process, resulting in a substantial increase in energy accumulation. Despite local dissipation, the nonreciprocal approach demonstrates a fourfold increase in battery energy.

  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.
