Inhibiting the self-discharging process of quantum batteries in non-Markovian noises

One of the main challenges in developing high-performance quantum batteries is the self-discharging process, where energy is dissipated from a quantum battery into the environment. In this work, we investigate the influence of non-Markovian noises on the performance of a quantum battery. Our results demonstrate that adding auxiliary qubits to a quantum battery system can effectively suppress the self-discharging process, leading to an improvement in both the steady-state energy and extractable work. We reveal that the physical mechanism inhibiting the self-discharging process is the formation of system-environment bound states, rather than an increase in non-Markovianity. Our results could be of both theoretical and experimental interest in exploring the ability of quantum batteries to maintain long stored energy in the environment.
