Scientists from The Australian National University have designed an AI system that replicated a complex experiment by the 2001 Nobel Prize experiment in Physics , which created cold atoms trapped in a laser beam , known as the Bose - Einstein condensate . The machine completed the experiment in under an hour , which was a surprise to researchers . The researchers optimised the machine to produce the best dosage of Bose - Einstein , an ultra - cold gas that is less than a billion degrees above zero ' . Scientists want to use the created produce for cold - atom based sensors , to investigate many body physics . The researchers have now placed their algorithm online , and hope that it can be used to aid quantum chemistry , quantum computing and femtosecond ##s , and can extend their current data into a larger format .
