Abstract
Environmentally induced decoherence poses a fundamental challenge to quantum energy storage systems, causing irreversible energy dissipation and performance aging of quantum batteries (QBs). To address this issue, we propose a QB protocol utilizing the nonlocal coupling properties of giant atoms (GAs). In this architecture, both the QB and its charger are implemented as superconducting GAs with multiple nonlocal coupling points to a shared microwave waveguide. By engineering these atoms in a braided configuration, where their coupling paths are spatially interleaved, we show the emergence of decoherence-immune interaction dynamics. This unique geometry enables destructive interference between decoherence channels while preserving coherent energy transfer between the charger and the QB, thereby effectively suppressing the aging effects induced by waveguide-mediated dissipation.
