Abstract
A quantum battery consisting of two coupled qubits driven by a delta-pulse is investigated. By using the framework of open quantum system, we obtain analytically several quantities describing the performance of the quantum battery. In particular, we are interested in the stored energy and the extractable energy known as ergotropy. We discover that by tuning the driving strength and the coupling strength, we can isolate the origin of the ergotropy: quantum coherences, population inversion, or combination of them. Furthermore, increasing the coupling strength not only enhances the stored energy, the ergotropy and charging power, but also reducing the charging time, which boosts the performance of the quantum battery.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
