These futuristic batteries could eventually be able to charge electric cars at a fraction of the speed of today.

Quantum batteries could one day charge electronic devices much faster than standard batteries, thanks to a strange quantum phenomenon that allows them to be in two places at the same time.
Electrochemical batteries (such as those that power remote controls and cars) store energy resulting from chemical reactions between metals. But quantum batteries are built from quantum bits, or quantum bits, which extract energy from quantum processes such as those involved in moving particles of light or atoms. Physicists are serious…
