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 …

The seminal work by Sadi Carnot in the early nineteenth century provided the blueprint of a
reversible heat engine and the celebrated second law of thermodynamics eventually …

The rate at which matter emits or absorbs light can be modified by its environment, as
markedly exemplified by the widely studied phenomenon of superradiance. The reverse …

We propose to use a quantum spin chain as a device to store and release energy coherently
and we investigate the interplay between its internal correlations and outside decoherence …

Theoretical explorations have revealed that quantum batteries can exploit quantum
correlations to achieve faster charging, thus promising exciting applications in future …

Quantum batteries are miniature energy storage devices and play a very important role in
quantum thermodynamics. In recent years, quantum batteries have been extensively …

We investigate the charging process of quantum battery (QB) systems in an extended Dicke
model with both atomic interactions and an external driving field. We focus on the effects of …

We present a collision model for the charging of a quantum battery by identical
nonequilibrium qubit units. When the units are prepared in a mixture of energy eigenstates …

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

Devices that use quantum advantages for storing energy in the degree of freedom of
quantum systems have drawn attention due to their properties of working as quantum …
