New stable quantum batteries can reliably store energy into electromagnetic fields

Phys.org  August 24, 2022 An international team of researchers (Italy, South Korea) revisited micromaser, a quantum mechanical system, that has been studied heavily in the past. They showed that micromasers have features that allow them to serve as excellent models of quantum batteries. However, one of the main concerns was that using electromagnetic field to store energy is that in principle, the electromagnetic field could absorb an enormous amount of energy. But their numerical results showed that this cannot happen in micromasers, the electromagnetic field reaches a steady state, and its energy can be determined and decided a priori when […]
