(Reuters) – Quantum computer maker IonQ Inc stated on Wednesday that it’s partnering with Hyundai Motor Co to make use of quantum computer systems to develop simpler batteries.
The partnership will create a battery chemistry mannequin to simulate the construction and power of lithium oxide, to assist enhance the efficiency, prices, and security of lithium batteries, IonQ stated.
Better battery know-how is essential to advancing using electrical vehicles.
Researchers consider quantum computer systems may function hundreds of thousands of occasions quicker than at this time’s superior supercomputers, probably making duties reminiscent of mapping complicated molecular buildings and chemical reactions a lot quicker.
For that to occur, the quantum computer systems nonetheless have to scale up additional, say specialists. Still corporations, from banks to pharmaceutical companies, are testing out alternative ways to begin utilizing the quantum computer systems to be prepared for the day after they change into extra dependable.
