The payoff was immediate. “When we fed the super-brain information about the laws of physics, it immediately got much smarter. Our calculations now take one tenth of the time previously required,” ...

Studying physics can be very useful—even when it comes to machine learning. A digital "super-brain" with built-in knowledge of the fundamental laws of nature can speed up the development of optical ...

"When we fed the super-brain information about the laws of physics, it immediately got much smarter. Our calculations now take one tenth of the time previously required," said Philippe Tassin, ...

This works better than trying to infer those rules from scratch. Research findings are available online in the journal Laser & Photonics Reviews. The original story “ Digital ‘super-brain’ with a ...

A digital 'super-brain' with built-in knowledge of the fundamental laws of nature can speed up the development of optical components for everything from quantum computers to eyeglass or camera lenses.
