well sort of. They might do so in the future.

"Although not quite there yet, the researchers concluded that quantum-based computational chemistry on the kinds of quantum computers that will be available in the near-term will play “a vital role to find potential materials that can enhance the battery performance and robustness.” While they used a 20-qubit simulator, they suggest a 400-qubit quantum computer (which will soon be available) would be necessary to fully model the Li2Co2O4 and Co2O4 system they considered."

This is the worst clickbait I've seen all day.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I don't actually know what "a 20-qubit simulator" is, but I'm confident it didn't find better EV battery materials. I think this was more proof of concept
