‘Quantum charging’ EV batteries could juice you car faster than pumping gas

When it comes to EV adoption, a major issue people complain about is slow charging times — especially compared to pumping stinky gas. To solve the charging time conundrum, a team of scientists from the Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems at IBS has turned to the realm of quantum physics. The team drew inspiration from a 2012 study, which proposed a “quantum battery concept,” meaning a quantum mechanical system that acts as an energy storage device. According to t
