- Quantum Computing in Battery Research – Car manufacturer Volkswagen using quantum computers to simulate chemical structure of batteries before actually developing them
- Achievements – Has already simulated molecules, such as lithium-hydrogen and carbon chains, with further plans to simulate entire battery on quantum computer
- Technology Providers – Collaborating with Google and D-Wave who provided quantum computing systems for the research initiative
- Perceived Benefits – Use of quantum computers can accelerate battery development, a time-consuming and resource-intensive process
- Algorithm Development – Data scientists, computer linguists, and software engineers at Volkswagen’s IT labs in San Francisco and Munich also developing algorithms to drive quantum computing-based research forward
