Improving infrared reflectivity and carbon retention of concrete modeled with quantum computing
By Suraj Vaddi
Concrete production and application are detrimental to the environment. This project aims to develop an environmentally friendly concrete that has the potential to reduce the urban heat island effect and reduce contamination into surrounding environments and water supplies. We will look into methods such as reducing concrete's infrared radiation reflectance and reducing carbon emission over time, all through the lens of thermodynamics and molecular modeling with quantum computing.
