University of Tokyo and other researchers have takne advantage of an unintuitive quantum process that disregards the conventional notion of causality to improve the performance of so-called quantum ...

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Huazhong University of Science and Technology have conducted a theoretical analysis demonstrating how a "topological quantum battery"—an ...

To promote the sustainability of electromobility and enhance resource efficiency, upcycling of lithium-ion batteries is gaining increasing attention. Efforts are focused on slowing down material ...

Arxiv – A survey of applications and end-to-end complexities. (337 pages. Oct 2023) by Researchers at AWS Center for Quantum Computing, Institute for Quantum Information, RWTH Aachen University ...

For more than a decade, scientists have been investigating ways to develop a “quantum battery” that stores energy using photons rather than electrons or ions. While quantum batteries—thanks to ...

In the classical world, if you tried to charge a battery using two chargers, you would have to do so in sequence, limiting the available options to just two possible orders. However, leveraging the ...

Surprisingly, they found that dissipation—typically regarded as harmful to battery performance—can also be used to enhance the charging power of quantum batteries transiently. They demonstrated ...

An experiment with superconducting qubits opens the door to determining whether quantum devices could be less energetically ...

In standard quantum theory, the causal order of occurrence between events is prescribed and must be definite. This has been maintained in all conventional operation scenarios for quantum batteries, ...

Quantum physics is the “study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level.” Quantum technologies exploit the properties identified by quantum physics to provide new capabilities in computing, ...

The modern battery has come a long way in its 224-year history. In the place of Alessandro Volta’s piles of metal disks and brine-soaked cloth, we now have batteries the dimensions of a graham cracker ...

(Nanowerk News) Batteries that exploit quantum phenomena to gain, distribute and store power promise to surpass the abilities and usefulness of conventional chemical batteries in certain low-power ...
