Scientists in the United States applied quantum computing techniques to the study of singlet fission - a little understood phenomenon that carries the potential to greatly increase solar cell efficiency. For now, the study reveals more about potential applications for quantum computing than for solar cells. But the techniques demonstrated could eventually helps scientists identify better materials for highly efficient solar cells.Computer simulations play a valuable role in helping scientists identify materials with characteristics that make worth a closer look. An investigation carried out at ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
