Post-Selection-Based Stochastic Quantum Battery
Abstract
Quantum batteries are quantum systems that store useful energy, which can be subsequently extracted to perform work. In this paper, we investigate the charging dynamics of the quantum battery under continuous measurements and post-selection. By post-selecting the trajectories with no quantum jump |1⟩ → |0⟩ in a three-level system, the dynamics is effectively confined to a two-level (|2⟩−|1⟩) manifold. We analyze the resulting charging dynamics under both σx- and σy-driving protocols and investigate the roles of detuning, coherent driving, non-linearity, and measurement backaction. The generation and dynamics of quantum coherence, which plays a pivotal role in quantum battery, are also analyzed under post-selection. The advantage and comparison of our results over those of a generic two-level system and with the Lindblad dynamics are also highlighted. Our work explores the interplay between the measurement axis and the driving protocols that govern the charging rate, ergotropy, and quantum coherence of the non-Hermitian, highly tunable, and controllable quantum battery.
