Exploring Quantum Universe With Artificial Intelligence

How can Artificial Intelligence (AI) help us comprehend the quantum world? In this seminar, you will learn about the latest advancements in fundamental physics and the state-of-the-art research being done to solve the biggest mysteries in the Universe. What is dark matter? Why is our Universe matter-dominated?

Using cutting-edge Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, we will investigate how contemporary quantum theories might explain these puzzles. Additionally, we shall see that deep learning in particular has revolutionized AI and opened up new avenues for the data-driven deep interpretation of cosmic mysteries. We'll also take a tour of the most current research being done to improve our understanding of quantum theory by UW physicists. You, the curious explorer, are cordially invited to join us on this voyage of quantum odysseys.

This course is designed for students with an interest in the various aspects of quantum theories and the applications of AI in scientific research. Knowledge of AP physics in high school and basic programming skills are recommended but not required.
