I am curious to know whether Physicists have implemented AI which can help complex experiments so that one gets more time to focus on the Physics questions.
AI brought enormous changes in conventional ways of Physics experiments. See for example the links: https://royalsociety.org/-/media/policy/projects/ai-and-society/AI-revolution-in-science.pdf?la=en-GB&hash=5240F21B56364A00053538A0BC29FF5F
I would suggest go through some "quantum Physics" experiments using AI techniques. I think which is not readily available yet, but many of us are contributing towards the same. below are some topics that you can explore more.
"Quantum mechanics" ,"Quantum Annealing", "quantum entanglement", "simulations of physics laws using quantum computers which is not possible using classical computers"
