澳大利亚国家科学机构Csiro的量子科学研究员詹姆斯·夸奇(James Quach)团队于2026年3月公布了世界首个可工作的量子电池原型,并成功从该原型中提取出电流 1。该电池利用光学微腔与超吸收效应,展现出“越大充电越快”的反直觉特性 1。
在结构设计上,该原型采用光学微腔,由两面相距100纳米的微小镜子组成,中间填充有机染料分子并用激光照射 1。该电池能在飞秒级(千万亿分之一秒)时间内完成充电,能量存储时间达纳秒级 1。与需要低于-150°C的超导设计相比,该设计可在室温下正常工作 1。研究团队曾于2022年首次演示超吸收效应,而2026年3月的进展则新增了提取电流的能力 1。尽管如此,当前原型仅能存储数十亿电子伏特的微小能量,且持续时间极短,距离实用化仍有距离 1。
Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have developed the world's first working quantum battery prototype 1. Led by quantum science researcher James Quach, the team successfully extracted current from the device in March 2026, building upon their initial demonstration of the superabsorption effect in 2022 1. This counterintuitive technology operates on the principle that the larger the battery, the faster it charges 1. The prototype utilizes an optical microcavity consisting of two tiny mirrors spaced 100 nanometers apart, which are filled with organic dye molecules and illuminated by a laser 1.
A significant advantage of this design is its ability to operate at room temperature, contrasting sharply with superconducting alternatives that require temperatures below -150°C 1. The battery achieves charging times in the femtosecond range, or quadrillionths of a second, while storing energy for nanoseconds 1. However, the current prototype is still far from practical application, as it can only store tens of billions of electron volts of energy for a few nanoseconds 1.
