Abstract

We propose an approach for the optimization of the charging of harmonic oscillators (quantum batteries) coupled to a harmonic oscillator (charger), driven by a laser field. We demonstrate that energy transfer limitations can be significantly mitigated in the presence of catalyst systems, mediating between the charger and quantum batteries. We show that these catalyst systems, either qubits or harmonic oscillators, enhance the amount of energy transferred to quantum batteries, while they themselves store almost no energy. It eliminates the need for optimizing the frequency of the charging laser field whose optimal value in the bare setting depends on the coupling strengths between the charger and the batteries.
