Artificial Intelligence Techniques Reconstruct Mysteries of Quantum Systems By Thomas Sumner

Graphic illustrating machine learning. On the left is a box labelled Input Measurements with an arrow to a graphic in the middle labelled Neural Network, which has an arrow pointing to the right labelled Reconstructed Measurements. Input measurements has eight colorful digital illustrations of cats. The Neural Network has three squares and three colorful circles that are all connected. The Reconstructed Measurement boxes has the same colorful cat images in the first box.
