The work, published in the September 23 issue of <i>Physical Review Letters<\/i>, could revolutionize how scientists investigate systems containing many interacting electrons.

When two electrons occupy the same lattice site, they interact. This setup, known as the Hubbard model, is an idealization of several important classes of materials and enables scientists to learn how electron behavior gives rise to sought-after phases of matter, such as superconductivity, in which electrons flow through a material without resistance. The model also serves as a testing ground for new methods before they\u2019re unleashed on more complex quantum systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using artificial intelligence, physicists have compressed a daunting quantum problem that until now required 100,000 equations into a bite-size task of as few as four equations\u2014all without sacrificing accuracy.
