Finding quvigints in a quantum treasure map

Physicists at the University of Queensland have created a new method for finding unknown quantum states, called self-guided tomography, which enables them to locate quvigints more quickly and accurately in high dimensions. This technique uses machine learning to pick directions, collect data, and process it to find the target state.
