contents We investigate the solid-state implementation of a Dicke-like quantum battery consisting of a two-dimensional material-based Josephson junction inductively coupled to a resonator, using graphene as a representative example. In this configuration, Andreev bound states naturally act as non-interacting, energetically non-degenerate two-level systems, and the setup allows for both single-photon and two-photon resonant processes. The coupling between the LC-circuit flux and the supercurrent through the junction gives rise to peculiar longitudinal interaction terms that have no counterpart in the conventional Dicke model. These additional couplings can enhance energy storage for a proper range of parameters. The proposed architecture also enables an alternative, but equivalent, charging protocol that relies on tuning the superconducting phase difference across the junction.
