One cold day to find your best five devices
His flagship array works 36 of 36, but only a handful of devices ever get the full quantum-optical workup — each costs cryostat-hours. Can a measurement-scheduling policy recover the best five and predict the rest under a hard 24-hour budget?

A better policy for gates teleported between chips
Her unconditional CNOT between two diamond nodes runs at one good event every ~30 s, on a policy set by intuition. Can a loop find a schedule that beats the published protocol at fidelity — in a model calibrated to her real numbers?

Seven cheaper wormhole-teleportation circuits
Starting from a published sparse-SYK "wormhole on a chip" instance, the harness found seven verifier-certified variants that run on ~14% fewer gates (48 vs 56) while still passing every chaos and wormhole test. It ends in a written paper — included in the repo.

Fewer measurements, same implied voltage
In one line
A published method infers a perovskite device's operating voltage (V_OC) from three non-contact optical measurements, each repeated across many settings. We propose searching for the minimal subset of measurements and configurations that still recovers implied voltage within tolerance — cutting experiment count and energy. Scroll for the plan, the bar it must clear, and the cost.
Every subset of {steady-state glow, time-resolved glow, transmission} — can two of three carry the implied voltage?
How many configurations
Fluence × acquisition-window settings per measurement — from today's many down to a minimal set.
Acquisition budget
Total measurement time and light dose, as an explicit cost the search minimizes.
Robustness
Across a grid of realistic device stacks + measurement noise, scored leave-one-device-out.
Condition to succeed — the bar it must clear
A subset wins only if it is provably good, not merely plausible.
It must recover implied voltage to ≤ 10 mV out-of-sample (leave-one-device-out) using ≤ 2 measurements and a strictly smaller acquisition budget than the full three-measurement protocol.
Anti-hallucination guard: at import, the sealed verifier must first reproduce the full-protocol implied voltage on a held-out device (a dress rehearsal). If it can't, it refuses to run — so a reported "win" can never be an artifact of a broken forward model or a lucky fit.
