Phys.org  October 25, 2019 Researchers in Canada have provided a theoretical demonstration that creating a loss-free quantum battery is possible—offering an advantage over previously proposed quantum batteries. To realize their idea, the team considered an open quantum network model with high structural symmetry as a platform for storing excitonic energy. Using this model, they showed it is possible to store energy without any loss, despite being open to an environment. The key is to prepare this quantum network in a dark state when the network cannot exchange energy with its environment, the system becomes immune to all environmental influences. The […]
