A new partnership is exploring the creation of more advanced and sustainable coatings products through quantum computing.
AkzoNobel and Microsoft have teamed up to explore how quantum computing could help fast-track the development of high-performance and more sustainable paints and coatings. Scientists from both organizations will co-develop what will effectively be a virtual laboratory. The aim is to conduct experiments using quantum computing and other Microsoft Azure cloud services.
Quantum chemical computation is capable of simulating chemical reactions at an unprecedented level of accuracy. Together, Microsoft and AkzoNobel will explore how this can contribute to creating more advanced and sustainable products through collaborative experimentation and development.
