Abstract
Quantum resonance arising whenever the ratio of the intrinsic system frequency to the driving frequency becomes a rational number has been demonstrated to generate super-linear entanglement, enhance transport, quantum metrology performance and communication. Here, we demonstrate that quantum resonance can also serve as a powerful resource for quantum batteries. We model the batteries as free rotors charged via a kicked protocol. When the individual batteries are at resonance, we show both analytically and numerically that charging power increases linearly with time while efficiency (defined as the fraction of stored energy that can be extracted) remains near unity despite strong entanglement generation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this enhanced performance persists at higher-order resonances. Demonstrating the universality of this mechanism, we show that similar enhancements arise in the interacting kicked top model, and briefly note the feasibility of its experimental realization. In a broader context, resonant charging holds significant implications for energy storage, quantum computational resources, and quantum thermodynamics.
