Evaluating Verified Autonomy in Quantum Engineering
A new virtual quantum lab benchmark finds frontier agents still vary sharply when their work has to be verified.
The paper introduces Quantum-Harbor, a controlled environment where agents can interact with quantum systems and have both actions and conclusions checked. Its QIQCBench benchmark contains 49 expert-written tasks across calibration, control, error correction, compilation, sensing, and networking. Testing 17 agentic systems showed a clear gap between apparent capability and reliable autonomous operation. ArXiv · AI/CL/LG's note
