Abstract: Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production, storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum energy storage by reviewing recent theoretical and experimental progress in quantum batteries. Provided first is a theoretical background discussing the advantages that quantum batteries offer with respect to their classical analogs. The existing quantum many-body battery models are then reviewed and a thorough discussion of important issues related to their open nature is presented. The Colloquium concludes with a discussion of promising experimental implementations, preliminary results available in the literature, and perspectives.
