USA Rare Earth quantum mineral separation partnership

Overview

USA Rare Earth Inc. has entered a strategic partnership with Pasqal and Riven Systems to advance rare earth element separation technology through quantum machine learning and AI-driven industrial chemistry.

The collaboration aims to identify new chemical extractants to create smaller, more cost-effective, and less energy-intensive processing facilities. The technical focus is on separating mixed rare earth carbonate into individual oxides, a process currently dominated by China, particularly regarding heavy rare earths like dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium.

To achieve this, Riven Systems will utilize an automated, self-driving minerals separation laboratory to conduct thousands of experiments. Pasqal will provide neutral-atom quantum computing technology to benchmark quantum machine learning models against classical computing models. The initiative is intended to support a more secure and competitive Western supply chain for critical minerals.
