USA Rare Earth partners with Pasqal, Riven Systems on quantum machine-learning rare earth separation tech
USAR•USAR•USAR•USAR•The work targets USA Rare Earth feedstocks, including Round Top mine output, third-party mixed rare earth carbonates and magnet manufacturing swarf.
The companies expect the initial effort to expand into an end-to-end extractant discovery pipeline, feeding USA Rare Earth flowsheet optimization.
Riven will run automated experiments to generate training data, while Pasqal will benchmark quantum models versus classical approaches.
USA Rare Earth formed a strategic partnership with Pasqal and Riven Systems to develop next-generation rare earth separation technology.
The project uses quantum machine learning to discover new extractant molecules, targeting smaller, lower-cost, less energy-intensive processing facilities.
