Metastability-Induced Solid-State Quantum Batteries for Powering Microwave Quantum Electronics (2410.21900v1)
Published 29 Oct 2024 in quant-ph
Abstract: Metastability is ubiquitous in diverse complex systems. In open quantum systems, metastability offers protection against dissipation and decoherence, yet its application in quantum batteries remains unexplored. We propose a solid-state open quantum battery where metastable states enable stable superextensive charging without complicated protocols and energy storage with extended lifetime. Using a realistic organic maser platform, we show the controllable manner of the work extraction from the quantum battery, which can be exploited for on-demand coherent microwave emission at room temperature. These results not only demonstrate the usefulness of metastability for developing the quantum batteries robust against energy losses, but also provide a paradigm of the practical quantum device powered up by quantum batteries.
