• Abstract: Quantum resources such as entanglement form the backbone of quantum technologies and their efficient generation is a central objective of modern quantum platforms. Independently, quantum batteries have emerged as nanoscale devices that utilize collective quantum effects to store energy with a charging advantage over classical strategies. Here, we show that these two pursuits can co-exist: protocols for fast generation of resourceful quantum states can simultaneously charge a quantum battery with a collective advantage, and conversely, a quantum battery protocol with a charging advantage can produce resource-rich states. Using this connection, we propose an integrated hardware protocol on superconducting circuits in which each experimental run can interchangeably accomplish either quantum battery charging, or quantum sensing through generation of metrologically useful states. Our results establish that quantum resources and stored energy are distinct yet co-producable quantities, opening the door to modular quantum architectures that dynamically switch between sensing and energy-storage functions, thereby producing additional functionalities without extra hardware cost.
