Quantum Battery Enhancement via Degenerate Optical Parametric Amplifier and Common Reservoirs

Abstract: We investigate a nonreciprocal quantum battery in which the charger and battery share one or two common reservoirs, with the charger driven by a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (DOPA). Reservoir-mediated dissipative interactions enable directional energy transfer, while the DOPA provides additional parametric am plification. We show that, in the stable below-threshold regime, the DOPA can enhance the battery energy and average charging power, with the nonlinear gain and pump phase providing effective control of the charging dynamics. Further optimization of the dissipative-coupling asymmetry improves the stored energy. These fea tures persist for both single- and two-common-reservoir configurations, demonstrating a tunable strategy for enhancing open-system quantum-battery charging.
