Nine loop calculations in N=4 Super Yang-Mills! Lance Dixon's 8-loop calculation was mind boggling when he did it. I calculated a lot of Feynman diagrams in grad school and this is 🤯 Will be amazing to see where AI will take high energy physics in the coming 12 months. [引用 @AnthropicAI]: New on the Science Blog: Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops. Theoretical physicists predict how particles behave using formulas called scattering amplitudes. These are notoriously hard to compute, so researchers work with layers of increasingly fine corrections called “loops”—each added loop makes the answer more precise but takes exponentially more computation. Most calculations stop at two or three…
