Reservoir-Engineered Low-Threshold Quantum Energy Storage
Abstract
Fast charging of quantum batteries requires amplification of the energy transferred to a storage mode without uncontrolled gain or phenomenological non-Hermitian dynamics. Inspired by broken/unbroken dynamical regimes, we introduce a reservoir-engineered quantum battery in which a two-photon-driven charger and a battery mode are coupled through a lossy dissipative mediator. Eliminating the fast mediator yields a reduced two-mode Lindblad model with a complex dissipative coupling and renormalized damping rates. Its drift matrix has a pump-induced stability threshold: below threshold the seeded response is bounded, whereas above threshold a weak seed excites a growing mode and the battery occupation increases exponentially. Compared with a coherent beam-splitter charger--battery benchmark at equal effective coupling, the dissipative architecture reaches this broken regime at a lower pump amplitude. For the parameters studied here, this corresponds to about \(61\%\) less critical pump power and opens a pump-power window in which dissipative charging is exponential while the coherent benchmark remains below threshold. In the broken dissipative regime, the growth is dominated by a seed-selected coherent battery displacement rather than incoherent fluctuation buildup, so a large fraction of the stored energy is directly extractable by a displacement operation. The broken-regime boundary is a dynamical stability threshold, not generally an exceptional point, and the full three-mode…
