Simulating Quantum Computing

The ability to simulate quantum physics in a useful way is interesting here. 

AI can simulate quantum systems without massive computing power
It could help with both physics and quantum computers.

It's difficult to simulate quantum physics, as the computing demand grows exponentially the more complex the quantum system gets -- even a supercomputer might not be enough. AI might come to the rescue, though. Researchers have developed a computational method that uses neural networks to simulate quantum systems of "considerable" size, no matter what the geometry. To put it relatively simply, the team combines familiar methods of studying quantum systems (such as Monte Carlo random sampling) with a neural network that can simultaneously represent many quantum states. .....
