Abstract

Energy-invariant assistants enable complete energy extraction from quantum batteries via joint unitaries, with conditions identified for battery inactivity.

We investigate the role of energy-invariant assistants in energy extraction from quantum batteries. To this end, for energy extraction, we restrict ourselves to unitaries that jointly act on the battery and the assistant but preserve the energy of the assistant. We demonstrate that, in the presence of an energy-invariant assistant having the same dimension as the battery, all stored energy of the battery can always be extracted, transforming the battery into its ground state when an appropriate joint unitary and assistant state are employed. Additionally, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a battery to be unable to provide any energy, i.e., to be inactive, even when an energy-invariant assistant is present and prepared in an arbitrary but fixed state.
