Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Research of Quantum Mechanics

Searching for different uses of artificial intelligence has always been a successful journey and among its numerous uses, quantum mechanics stands in a vital position. Artificial Intelligence can be used to predict molecular wave functions and the electronic properties of molecules. The behavior of the electron in the molecule can be observed and the data can be fed to AI algorithm, which would further predict the future behaviors of the electrons in the molecules. The researchers of University of Warwick, the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Luxembourg have together come up with such innovative ways of using AI. Using quantum mechanics, the behavior of an electron in a molecule is still described by a wave function, analogous to the behavior in an atom. Just like electrons around isolated atoms, electrons around atoms in molecules are limited to discrete (quantized) energies.
