Holy science-fiction, batman!
It's not clear from the article whether the battery is entangled internally, or whether two or more separate batteries are entangled.
If the latter, you could end up with a power transmission scheme where you pump energy into a stationary battery and the mobile mate in your car makes use of the power.
(Phys.org)—Theoretical physicists Robert Alicki… theorize that it should be possible to build an almost perfect entangled quantum battery. … their overall performance approaches the thermodynamic limit.
If ever an entangled quantum battery were made with nearly perfect energy transfer… allow for the creation of batteries that are far superior to those used in everyday applications such as lithium-ion battery packs.
I have been a fan of Sir Roger Penrose of Oxford University for many years. He was the first scientist to say that consciousness should be found in the quantum field rather than in the brain. I am so much a fan, that I made my own theory out of the idea that consciousness might be explained through a better understanding of antimatter and parallel universes.

Nov 9, 2012Anyone knows what a typical energy density in such a battery where number of batteries increases to the point where it's almost optimal would be (which would be between 20 and 40 if I read their paper correctly)? I.e. what the 'thermodynamical bound' is?
