In its new role as a mobility services provider, Daimler is expecting to find answers to specific questions about the future shape of mobility. Its specialist research teams can now use Google’s 72-qubit Bristlecone processor, which currently features the highest number of quantum bits. Current binary-only computers have difficulties in handling highly complex issues.
The automotive group is also a member of the IBM Q Network, which aims to facilitate the development of potential quantum technology applications for the automotive and transport industry. "Quantum computing could play a crucial role in future in developing sustainable and efficient mobility solutions, as well as in diverse applications within our company", says Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Group Research & Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. Quantum computing applications range from battery cell development, logistics planning and production process optimisation through to machine learning for developing artificial intelligence further.
