    IBM Quantum Platforms: A Quantum Battery Perspective

    Quantum batteries (QBs) recently emerged as a fast-growing and very active field of research in the domain of quantum technologies. Very remarkably, the first experimental evidence of a QB has been reported less than one year ago and in this paper the aurthors characterise for the first time the performances of IBM quantum chips as
