Geometry-Controlled Squeezed-Waveguide Enabled Quantum Batteries
Abstract
Harnessed nonclassical resources to enhance the performance of quantum batteries is an important goal of quantum technology. In this work, we investigate multi-emitter batteries coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide driven by a broadband squeezed-vacuum reservoir, and determine how the waveguide geometry controls the battery performance and and their thermodynamic features. We show that for a single emitter, the squeezed reservoir deposits finite energy while the state remains passive, yielding zero ergotropy. For two emitters, however, phase-sensitive reservoir correlations generate coherence and can drive the steady state into a fully nonpassive regime. For three emitters, collective thermal dynamics already supports finite ergotropy, while squeezing further increases the extractable component of the stored energy. Crucially, because the collective and phase-sensitive couplings depend on the emitter positions, geometry provides direct control over the nonclassical correlations and, consequently, over the nonpassivity of the steady state. The ergotropy can therefore be strongly modulated while the stored energy changes only weakly, and in the two-emitter configuration geometry alone can switch the battery between a passive steady state and one in which all stored energy is unitarily extractable.
