We investigate a two-qubit open Rabi model, focusing on local ergotropy--the maximum extractable work by acting solely on the two qubits--within a parameter regime where a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless dissipative phase transition occurs. First, we aim to define a protocol for charging, storing, and discharging the two-qubit system, interpreted as the working principle of an open quantum battery. Second, we examine the impact of the phase transition on ergotropy and identify potential markers. To achieve these goals, we construct an ad-hoc charging unitary operator, leveraging our knowledge of the ground state near the transition to bring it into a decoherence-free state during storage. Using state-of-the-art numerics based on matrix product state representation, we reveal that high couplings to an external bath approximately double the local ergotropy immediately post-charging. Over time we observe oscillatory behaviors in ergotropy and its fluctuations, which undergo significant changes near the transition, signaling its occurrence. Furthermore, we optimize local ergotropy over time using a physically inspired ansatz, enabling work extraction at a generic time (local ergotropy never reaches zero). Our work proposes a tunable, experimentally realizable protocol for work extraction, leveraging decoherence-free states and phase transitions. Additionally, it sheds light on the complex interaction between local ergotropy and quantum phase transitions.

Experimental test of fluctuation relations for driven open quantum systems with an NV center
由于区分功和热在概念上和操作上的困难,受驱动的开放量子系统的量子涨落关系的实验验证目前是一个挑战。金刚石中的氮空位中心最近被提议作为一个受控的测试床,以研究在没有工作的情况下,在工程耗散通道存在下的波动关系[Hernán-Gómez等人,Phys. Rev. Research 2,023327(2020)]。在这里,我们将这些研究扩展到探索驱动耗散场景中量子涨落关系的有效性,其中自旋由于热梯度而与周围环境交换能量,并与外部工作源交换能量。我们实验证明的有效性的量子涨落关系中存在的循环驱动在两种情况下,当自旋交换能量与一个有效的无限温度的水库,当总工作消失在频闪时间-虽然提供给NV中心的功率是非零的。我们的结果代表了第一个实验研究的量子涨落关系的驱动开放量子系统。
