Scholars at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have unveiled an innovation that brings artificial intelligence (AI) closer to quantum computing – both physically and technologically.

A research team from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and their collaborators have recently developed a novel algorithm in quantum physics known as ‘entanglement microscopy’ that enables visualisation and mapping of this extraordinary phenomenon at a microscopic scale. By zooming in on the intricate interactions of entangled particles, one can uncover the hidden structures of quantum matter, revealing insights that could transform technology and deepen the understanding of the universe.

In a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Dr. Manik Banik from the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, along with collaborators from the Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata, A B N Seal College Cooch Behar, and the University of Hong Kong, demonstrated that a universal standard for measuring quantum nonlocality is impossible.
