Algorithm Dreams Up Quantum Experiments Computer code automates design of experimental setups-with surprising results

摘要

The various manifestations of "quantum weirdness," such as entanglement and teleportation, are proverbially counterintuitive. A group of scientists in Vienna, Austria, decided to try another approach: create a computer algorithm that can spit out potential designs for quantum experiments (Phys. Rev. Lett., doi: 10.1103/ PhysRevLett.116.090405).
