Purpose

The Project aims to create innovative quantum algorithms for studying the dynamic behavior of chemistry within lithium-ion batteries. This includes chemical reactions and mechanisms like delithiation, ion transport, and solid-electrolyte interphase formation. The Project will be focused on dynamics as a native application of quantum computers which is a promising candidate for outperforming classical approaches that face challenges in simulating the time evolution of quantum systems. This unexplored direction is a fertile ground for innovation and breakthroughs.
