The Dawn of Quantum Batteries
From the Emerging Technologies Blog
by Kevin Coleman
UPDATED MAY 2020 - This blog will appear monthly from now on. Today, all organizations depend on technological innovation in order to sustain their existence. Analysis of emerging technologies and identification of those technologies with the greatest potential is essential to being prepared for upcoming projects. The objective of this blog is to establish future oriented technology analysis and insights. This blog was established to provide program and project managers with information about these emerging technologies. These emerging technologies have far reaching repercussions for program and project managers. This blog will jump-start the learning process and allow program and project managers to become proactive.

When you think about it, you would have to think that this example of emerging technology under the quantum heading clearly fits into the category of disruption. Just recently, scientists at the universities of Alberta and Toronto have what is being described as a blue-prints for a "quantum battery." With so many breakthroughs being announced these days, you might wonder what’s the big deal. The big deal is that quantum batteries never lose their charge.
The global battery market is expected to grow at over 6.5% over the next few years. This places expectations for that global market at over $125 billion by 2025. While the quantum battery is not ready for prime time by any stretch of reality, perhaps after the next five years quantum batteries will be in a position to disrupt the status-quo!

In addition, we need to consider the reduction in need for all the charging equipment and cables we have for our smartphones, laptops, tablets,and portable devices we have become addicted to. When this arrives, it will be disruptive to multiple product segments including electric vehicles.

Dear Kevin
Interesting news
Thanks for sharing
Will the vested interests allow the replacement of one type of battery with another?
Is there any possibility in the short term of this replacement?

Maybe in the not so distant future my cellphone battery won't die in the middle of a conversation

@ Luis you can bet there will be huge push-back from the traditional battery makers to be sure. I am thinking this is at least 5 to 7 years out (before quantum batteries becomes mainstream).

That’s very interesting Kevin. Imagine if you can buy a battery that would never expire, that’s amazing.

Just think about all the hasn't been or can't be covered on here!

AND think about what this will mean to electric vehicles.

Dear Kevin and Rami
Interesting prospect
Thanks for sharing
What is the lifespan of a lithium battery? 2,3,4 years?
It means that throughout your life, a mobile phone consumer will have to buy 20, 25 or 30 batteries.
If we multiply it by millions of mobile users, how many batteries does it mean?
How many batteries per year does the industry have to manufacture to meet demand?
It would go against the logic of the system ...
Unless, if it were found that the cost of recycling justified the replacement
What did I personally prefer?
Of course, buying a battery for life
