Why the Ideal Magnet Remains Out of Reach
Researchers worldwide seek a cost‑effective permanent magnet that avoids rare earths, a goal that would break China’s near‑monopoly and reshape supply chains. After a decade of classical computing attempts, a Franco‑American team led by Alice & Bob, backed by a $3.9 million ARPA‑E grant and partners Los Alamos and GE Vernova, is turning to quantum computers to model the complex electron spin interactions needed for high‑coercivity magnets. They aim to achieve a 100‑logical‑qubit, error‑corrected quantum processor by around 2030 to explore the vast combinatorial material space. Experts caution that quantum hardware and integration with AI and experimental pipelines remain uncertain.
