Quantum batteries have theoretically exciting properties

Connecting a quantum computer to a quantum battery could be much more efficient in energy and allow machines to pack more processing power in the same physical space.
Quantum batteries, such as regular batteries, can store energy to provide energy, but instead of using electrochemical reactions, they are constructed from quantum or qubits, which can extract energy from quantum processes, such as tangles. While they have the advantage of charging much faster than regular devices, researchers have struggled to build work examples or find practical uses for them.
