Can artificial intelligence solve the mysteries of quantum physics? Mobileye founder's team at Hebrew University found the way

Quantum physics phenomena is one of the hottest topics in contemporary physics. It looks at how particles in nature "come together" and bring along their unique properties, such as electrical conductivity or magnetism. However, it has been almost impossible for even the most seasoned researchers to get more than a glimpse of these complex phenomena. This is because of the enormous number of particles these phenomena contain (over one billion billions in each gram) and the enormous number of interactions between them. A new study published in Physical Review Letters by Prof. Shashua's computer science doctoral students at Hebrew University -- Yoav Levin, Or Sharir and Nadav Cohen -- has demonstrated mathematically that algorithms based on deep neural networks can be applied to better understand the world of quantum physics, as well.
