Nature review: AI is designing 'weird' physics experiments humans can't intuit

A Nature review, 'Designing physics experiments with artificial intelligence,' surveys how AI discovers experiment designs too unintuitive for human experience across quantum optics, light & electron microscopy, gravitational-wave physics, high-energy and neutrino physics, and matter-wave physics. Lead author Mario Krenn reflects on 12 years since building the first automated quantum experiment design algorithms, arguing AI explores the solution space in ways fundamentally different from human intuition.
