Under the direction of Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua, a research group at Hebrew University of Jerusalem's School of Engineering and Computer Science has proven that artificial intelligence (AI) can help us understand the world on an infinitesimally small scale called quantum physics phenomena.
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. Until now.
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.
