Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

We investigate the connection between quantum resources and extractable work in
quantum batteries. We demonstrate that quantum coherence in the battery or the battery …

We investigate the delocalization of operators in nonchaotic quantum systems whose
interactions are encoded in an underlying graph or network. In particular, we study how fast …

We show that a micromaser is an excellent model of quantum battery. A highly excited, pure,
and effectively steady state of the cavity mode, charged by coherent qubits, can be achieved …

We characterize for the first time the performances of IBM quantum chips as quantum
batteries, specifically addressing the single-qubit Armonk processor. By exploiting the Pulse …

The quantum battery (QB) makes use of quantum effects to store and supply energy, which
may outperform its classical counterpart. However, there are two challenges in this field. One …

Energy extraction is a central task in thermodynamics. In quantum physics, ergotropy
measures the amount of work extractable under cyclic Hamiltonian control. As its full …

Quantum batteries are energy storage devices built using quantum mechanical objects,
which are developed with the aim of outperforming their classical counterparts. Proposing …

A central task in finite-time thermodynamics is to minimize the excess or dissipated work W
diss when manipulating the state of a system immersed in a thermal bath. We consider this …
