O, Germany-based polymer manufacturer Covestro announced a 5-year collaboration agreement with San Francisco-based quantum computing software developer QC Ware. Together, the companies will work to the develop quantum computing algorithms that can improve Covestro’s manufacturing processes and materials.
Chemical manufacturing and materials science are industries where microscopic changes in microscopic systems can have major impacts on macroscale development. Computational chemists work hard to define microscopic structures in, for example, a solar panel, down to the level of how electrons move through it. Subtle changes in that infrastructure can mean percentage gains in efficiency that could yield megawatts more power from a solar energy plant every year.
Covestro and QC Ware have spent the past year in a partnership to develop a proof-of-concept for modeling the types of reactions that produce molecules in industrial applications. This work has resulted in two papers, one that shows new techniques that allow for simulation using fewer quantum computing resources, and the other developing a new way to calculate energy gradients. These gradients are used to simulate useful chemical processes by manufacturers.
Heinemann explains that in the short term, Covestro is hoping to apply these new techniques to its chemical manufacturing processes that depend on catalytic reactions, which should be easier to simulate with quantum hardware that’s being developed now and can be expected to be available within a few years. By improving these types of chemistry, Covestro hopes to have a more efficient process that produces less waste.
