Periodically driven many-body quantum battery

Abstract
We explore the charging of a quantum battery based on spin systems through periodic modulation of a transverse-field-like Ising Hamiltonian. In the integrable limit, we find that resonance tunneling can lead to a higher transfer of energy to the battery and better stability of the stored energy at specific drive frequencies. When the integrability is broken in the presence of an additional longitudinal field, we find that the effective Floquet Hamiltonian contains terms which may lead to a global charging of the battery. However, we do not find any quantum advantage in the charging power, thus demonstrating that global charging is only a necessary and not sufficient condition for achieving quantum advantage.
