PsiQuantum and Mercedes-Benz: counting qubits for better batteries
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles rests on developing faster charging, longer lasting battery technology – the critical enabler for transitioning away from internal combustion engines. PsiQuantum has been working with Mercedes Benz to assess just how advanced a quantum computer must be to revolutionize Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery design.
Fault-tolerant resource estimate for quantum chemical simulations: Case study on Li-ion battery electrolyte molecules (arXiv.org)
In this article, we estimate the cost of simulating electrolyte molecules in Li-ion batteries on a fault-tolerant quantum computer, focusing on the molecules that can provide practical solutions to industrially relevant problems.
