Scientists discover simpler way to achieve Einstein’s ‘spooky action at a distance’ thanks to AI breakthrough bringing quantum internet closer to reality

Scientists have used AI to discover an easier method to form quantum entanglement between subatomic particles, paving the way for simpler quantum technologies. When particles such as photons become entangled, they can share quantum properties — including information — regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon is important in quantum physics and is one …
