Abstract

We explore recent advancements in the understanding and manipulation of vacuum energy in quantum physics, with a focus on the quantum energy teleportation (QET) protocol. Traditional QET protocols extract energy from what we refer to as a ``quasi-vacuum'' state, but the extracted quantum energy is dissipated into classical devices, limiting its practical utility. To address this limitation, we propose an enhanced QET protocol that incorporates an additional qubit, enabling the stored energy to be stored within a quantum register for future use. We experimentally validated this enhanced protocol using IBM superconducting quantum computers, demonstrating its feasibility and potential for future applications in quantum energy manipulation.
