The researchers accurately reconstructed the behavior of quantum systems using neural networks and “ghost” electrons.A new method for simulating quantum entanglement between interacting particles has been developed by physicists.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…
