Hyundai Motor partners with quantum computer firm IONQ for battery development

IonQ said the partnership will build battery chemistry models to simulate the structure and energy of lithium oxide, helping to improve the performance, cost and safety of lithium batteries.

Quantum computer maker IonQ Inc said on Wednesday it is partnering with Hyundai Motor Co to use quantum computers to develop more effective batteries. IonQ said the partnership will build battery chemistry models to simulate the structure and energy of lithium oxide, helping to improve the performance, cost and safety of lithium batteries.

Improved battery technology is critical to furthering the use of electric cars.

Researchers believe that quantum computers could operate millions of times faster than today’s advanced supercomputers, potentially performing tasks such as mapping complex molecular structures and chemical reactions much faster.

For this to happen, experts say, quantum computers still need to go further. Still companies, from banks to pharmaceutical firms, are testing a variety of ways to start using quantum computers to get ready for the day when they become more reliable.
