Let There Be Light (and Agents): Automating Quantum Experiments
Opening — Why this matters now Quantum optics sits at an awkward intersection: conceptually elegant, mathematically unforgiving, and operationally tedious. Designing even a “classic” experiment often means stitching together domain intuition, optical components, and simulation code—usually in tools that were never designed for conversational exploration. As AI agents move from text completion to task execution, the obvious question emerges: can they design experiments, not just describe them? ...
