Scientists Augment Reality To Crack the Code of Quantum Systems

The researchers accurately reconstructed the behavior of quantum systems using neural networks and "ghost" electrons. Physicists are (temporarily) augmenting reality in order to crack the code of quantum systems. Calculating the collective behavior of a molecule's electrons is necessary to predict a material's properties. Such predictions could one day help scientists create novel drugs or create materials with desirable qualities like superconductivity. The issue is that electrons may become'quantum mechanically' entangled with one another, which means they can no longer be treated individually.
