A new quantum-battery powered architecture could make future quantum computers faster, more efficient and easier to scale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to powering quantum computers using quantum batteries \u2014 a breakthrough that could make future computers faster, more reliable and more energy efficient.
\nQuantum computers rely on the rules of quantum physics to solve problems that could transform computing, medicine, energy, finance, communications and many other fields in the years ahead.
\nBut sustaining their delicate quantum states typically requires room-sized, energy-intensive cryogenic cooling systems, as well as a system of room-temperature electronics.
\nThese infrastructure and energy requirements remain the biggest barriers to scaling up quantum computers, limiting their size and processing power, restricting their applications and slowing their path to market.
\nIn a new study published in Physical Review X (PRX), a team of researchers at Australia\u2019s national science agency, CSIRO, University of Queensland and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), has theoretically shown how tiny quantum batteries could power a quantum computer \u2014 increasing its number of quantum bits (known as qubits) fourfold.
\nDr James Quach, co-author of the study and CSIRO\u2019s quantum batteries research lead, explained that the computers use significantly less energy because internal quantum batteries can recycle the energy in the system.
\n\u201cQuantum batteries are small and mighty. Our findings bring us one step closer to solving the energy, cooling and infrastructure challenges restricting quantum computers,\u201d said Dr Quach.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s like giving the computer its own internal fuel tank. Instead of constantly refilling it from the electricity grid, the battery recharges while the computer operates.
\n\u201cThis research forms a key step in our exploration of quantum energy \u2014 an emerging field that could fundamentally reshape the way we create efficient, sustainable energy systems,\u201d he said.
\nQuantum batteries are devices that store energy using light, allowing them to recharge simply by being exposed to it. When integrated into a quantum computer, they can be continually recharged by the machine\u2019s own components.
\nIn this system, the battery becomes linked with the computer\u2019s quantum processing units through a phenomenon known as entanglement, creating a shared quantum connection.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve calculated that quantum-battery-operated systems will generate significantly less heat, require fewer wiring components, and fit more qubits into the same physical space \u2014 all important steps toward building practical, scalable quantum computers,\u201d explained Dr Quach.
\nModelling also suggests the architecture could improve computational speed through what\u2019s called quantum superextensivity, a phenomenon where the more qubits there are, the faster they are.
\n\u201cThe paper reports the theoretical modelling of how quantum batteries could power existing quantum computers, the team\u2019s next step is to develop a real-world demonstration of this approach.
\n\u201cWhile quantum batteries remain an emerging technology and further development is required, this approach creates exciting possibilities for the future of quantum computing,\u201d said Dr Quach.<\/p>\n
