The maximum unitarily extractable work from a quantum system -- ergotropy -- is the basic principle behind quantum batteries, a rapidly emerging field. This work studies ergotropy in two quantum chaotic systems, the quantum kicked top and the kicked Ising spin chain, to illustrate the effects of chaotic dynamics. In an ancilla-assisted scenario, chaos enhances ergotropy when the state is known, a consequence of large entanglement production in the chaotic regime. When the state is unknown, we need to at least partially characterize the state using coarse-grained measurements for useful extraction of work. In this case, chaos impedes ergotropy by suppressing information gained from coarse-grained measurements, while entanglement with an ancilla still facilitates ergotropy. In this scenario, we study the interplay between chaos and entanglement and find a sweet spot in the chaos parameter for optimal work. Our results point to the potential of quantum chaos-assisted batteries for better work extraction.

Work and entropy of mixing in isolated quantum systems
Mixing entropy is identified with observational entropy, yielding a Landauer-like work-difference bound with an observational temperature, and a resolution of the Gibbs mixing paradox in isolated quantum systems.
