Scaling of energy and power in a large quantum battery-charger model

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate a theoretical quantum battery-charger model, focusing on its potential emulation on concrete experimental platforms. Using a large-spin representation, we first obtain the analytical form of the energy EB(t) and power PB(t), and their maximum values EmaxB and PmaxB, of the battery part by means of the antiferromagnetic Holstein-Primakoff transformation within the low-energy approximation. In this case, our results show that superextensive scaling behavior of PmaxB ensues. By further combining these with the ones obtained via exact diagonalization, we classify the dynamics of various physical quantities, including the entanglement between the battery and charger parts for system sizes encompassing over 10 000 qubits. Finally, by checking a diverse set of system configurations, including either a fixed battery size with a growing number of charger qubits or when both parts simultaneously grow, we classify the system size scalings of EmaxB and PmaxB, relating it with the entanglement entropy in the system. In agreement with the analytical results, robust superextensive behavior of PmaxB is also observed in this case. Our work provides an overall guide for expected features in experiments of quantum batteries emulated in multi-qubit platforms, in particular ones that exhibit long-range couplings.
