Quantum pc maker IonQ mentioned that it’s partnering with Hyundai 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 mentioned.

Researchers imagine quantum computer systems might function tens of millions of occasions sooner than at the moment’s superior supercomputers, probably making duties resembling mapping complicated molecular constructions and chemical reactions a lot sooner.

For that to occur, the quantum computer systems nonetheless have to scale up additional, say consultants. Regardless of this, firms, from banks to pharmaceutical firms are testing out alternative ways to start out utilizing the quantum computer systems to be prepared for the day after they turn out to be extra dependable.
