• Abstract: Dusty plasma is a mixture of ions, electrons, and macroscopic charged particles that is commonly found in space and planetary environments. The particles interact through Coulomb forces mediated by the surrounding plasma, and as a result, the effective forces between particles can be non-conservative and non-reciprocal. Machine learning (ML) models are a promising route to learn these complex forces, yet their structure should match the underlying physical constraints to provide useful insight. Here we demonstrate and experimentally validate an ML approach that incorporates physical intuition to infer force laws in a laboratory dusty plasma. Trained on 3D particle trajectories, the model accounts for inherent symmetries, non-identical particles, and learns the effective non-reciprocal forces between particles with exquisite accuracy (R^2>0.99). We validate the model by inferring particle masses in two independent yet consistent ways. The model's accuracy enables precise measurements of particle charge and screening length, discovering large deviations from common theoretical assumptions. Our ability to identify new physics from experimental data demonstrates how ML-powered approaches can guide new routes of scientific discovery in many-body systems. Furthermore, we anticipate our ML approach to be a starting point for inferring laws from dynamics in a wide range of many-body systems, from colloids to living organisms.

  We show that the dynamics of the Di'osi-Penrose (DP) model of classical gravity can entangle the mechanical degrees of freedom of two separate particles. For standard experiments of gravitationally induced entanglement (GIE), we find that entanglement can be generated iff the particles are separated by a distance smaller than some limiting value $d_c$.

  Scientific machine learning (SciML) is an interdisciplinary research field that integrates machine learning, particularly deep learning, with physics theory to understand and predict complex natural phenomena. PINNs and neural operators (NOs) are two popular methods for SciML. The use of PINNs is expanding into areas such as simultaneous solutions of differential equations, inference in underdetermined systems, and regularization based on physics.

  Machine Learning (ML)-based force fields are attracting ever-increasing interest due to their capacity to span scales of classical interatomic potentials at quantum-level accuracy. Here we leverage both Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and experimentally measured mechanical properties and lattice parameters to train an ML potential of titanium. We demonstrate that the fused data learning strategy can concurrently satisfy all target objectives, thus resulting in a molecular model of higher accuracy compared to the models trained with a single source data.

  Many NN approaches learn an end-to-end model that implicitly models both the governing PDE and material models. We argue that the governing PDEs are often well-known and should be explicitly enforced rather than learned. We introduce a new framework termed "Neural Constitutive Laws" (NCLaw) which utilizes a network architecture that strictly guarantees standard priors.

• Physics-informed Information Field Theory for Modeling Physical Systems with Uncertainty Quantification [0.0]
  Information field theory (IFT) provides the tools necessary to perform statistics over fields that are not necessarily Gaussian. We extend IFT to physics-informed IFT (PIFT) by encoding the functional priors with information about the physical laws which describe the field. The posteriors derived from this PIFT remain independent of any numerical scheme and can capture multiple modes. We numerically demonstrate that the method correctly identifies when the physics cannot be trusted, in which case it automatically treats learning the field as a regression problem.

• Environmental Collapse Models [0.0]
  In principle, isolated systems comprising only massive particles could evolve unitarily indefinitely in such models. Since photons and gravitons are ubiquitous and scatter from massive particles, dynamical collapses of the former will effectively induce collapses of the latter. We argue that these environmental collapse models may be consistent with quantum experiments on microscopic systems.
