We study the energy harvesting of photons undergoing chaotic dynamics with different complexity degrees. Our theory employs a multiscale analysis, which combines Hamiltonian billiards, time-dependent coupled mode theory and ab-initio simulations. In analogy to classical thermodynamics, where the presence of microscopic chaos leads to a single direction for time and entropy, an increased complexity in the motion of photons yields to a monotonic accumulation of energy, which dramatically grows thanks to a constructive mechanism of energy buildup. This result could lead to the realization of novel complexity-driven, energy harvesting architectures.
