Quantum entanglement just got easier, thanks to artificial intelligence. Researchers discovered a new procedure for creating quantum links between particles, and it could be used for building quantum communication networks in the future.
This new method came as a surprise. Mario Krenn at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Germany originally wanted to use a physics discovery algorithm called PyTheus, which he and his colleagues developed, to reinvent an experimental procedure…
