Abstract
The development of fast and efficient quantum batteries is crucial for the prospects of quantum technologies. In the present paper we demonstrate that both requirements are accomplished in the paradigmatic model of a harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a highly non-Markovian thermal reservoir. We show that at short times, a dynamical blockade of the reservoir prevents the leakage of energy towards its degrees of freedom, promoting a significant accumulation of energy in the battery with high efficiency. The possibility of implementing these conditions in LC quantum circuits opens up new avenues for solid-state quantum batteries. The development of fast and efficient quantum batteries is crucial for the prospects of quantum technologies. In this work the authors have shown that both requirements are accomplished in the paradigmatic model of a harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a highly non-Markovian thermal reservoir.
