University of Tübingen computer solves quantum experiment researchers couldn’t.
A team at the University of Tübingen used a machine-learning system to search for optical experimental layouts built from lasers, lenses, and mirrors. The resulting design produced measurements with higher precision than configurations devised by human researchers, and the source reports that it found setups which had previously defeated attempts by researchers including Mario Krenn.

AI-guided design becomes a routine pre-processing step in photonic quantum labs for optimising small interferometric experiments such as entanglement sources or homodyne measurements.
