Abstract

During the charging process, interactions between a quantum battery and its charger generally generate quantum correlations, which may reduce the amount of work extractable from the battery alone. We show that, by coupling the system with an environment that can be continuously monitored, one can weaken these correlations and enhance work extraction beyond what is achievable in the ideal (closed system) limit. This general mechanism is illustrated using both a cavity-mediated spin-spin and a Dicke quantum battery model.
