Daimler AG has signed a cooperation agreement with Google Inc. to use the tech company’s Bristlecone quantum computer for research and development of next-generation technologies.
One of the initial applications is expected to be chemistry modeling to test and develop advanced materials for electric vehicle batteries. Other target areas include autonomous vehicle fleet management, logistics planning, production optimization and deep learning for artificial intelligence systems.
Google’s Bristlecone processor features a 72-qubit chip, which is said to be among the most powerful in the industry. The company is “cautiously optimistic” the system will be able to outperform current supercomputers on certain tasks.
Daimler says such computers could “revolutionize” IT and eventually lead to breakthroughs across various industries. But company officials caution that the technology is in the early stages of development.
