Empty (total = 0) -> photon A -> charge battery element 1 & entangled battery element 2 where battery element is/are the atoms storing the charge.
One cannot assume the charge will be split 50/50 because its probabilistic and how the atoms are impacted by the photos may impact charge. Also, it may be the case that - probabilistically - the charge is no better or more efficient than a classic battery. Anyway, I think this explains how a lesser charge may result in a higher stored charge.
- gus_massa 3y agoIt looks like they use an initial auxiliary entangled system with a state like 1/sqrt(2)A+1/sqrt(2)B and then A and B decide how the "battery" charges. So the final state of the "battery" is 1/sqrt(2)C1C2+1/sqrt(2)C2C1, that is a superposition of the two ways to charge the "battery", that is a 50% for each one.
