The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton for the invention of artificial neural networks which lie at the heart of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Among the many groundbreaking applications of this work, the Nobel Committee highlighted the pioneering work by QSE Center researcher Giuseppe Carleo in their scientific backgrounder.
Carleo laid down the foundations of quantum neural networks, leading to revolutionary advances in quantum science and the simulation of many-body quantum systems. His 2017 Science paper “Solving the quantum many-body problem with artificial neural networks” on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and the quantum many-body problem is cited among the publications in the Nobel committee’s scientific background paper on the award-winning work.
Congratulations to Giuseppe Carleo for this recognition, and to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton for their Nobel Prize!
