Designing physics experiments with artificial intelligence - Nature
Artificial intelligence in physics experimental design is explored on the basis of searching for optima over a vast space of hardware configurations and proposing entirely new experimental layouts, rather than tuning a handful of parameters.

This year quantum physics turns 100, so @nature.com decided to conduct the biggest ever survey of what lies behind it. Do physicists really believe in multiple universes? Can influences happen instantaneously? Is the Copenhagen interpretation all it's cut out to be? ⚛️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
