Not quite understanding the physics and chemistry at work here, but it is interesting that a major auto manufacturer is thinking this. Will QC be used for combinatorially difficult materials problems? I am intrigued because we suggested problems with difficult combinatorics. Only a little more at the link:
Volkswagen using quantum computers to build better EV batteries
It'll be a while, though.
By Rob LeFebvre, @roblef in Engadget
Making high-performance batteries for electric vehicles is a complicated, time-consuming process. So much so that engineers at Volkswagen have started using a quantum computer to simulate the chemical structures like lithium-hydrogen and carbon chains much faster. The idea is to continue using quantum computing to eventually develop a sort of blueprint for tailor-made batteries that can be optimized for different features, like weight reduction, power density or power cell assembly. ....
