autocalibrates quantum optics while you sleep
Aligns optical paths and manages cryogenic plumbing for physics experiments. Reads academic literature to interpret complex physical results.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still troubleshoot a vacuum leak by listening to the specific hiss of death.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
An AI agent scrapes all recent physics papers to generate optimized experimental parameters for you.
Month 7
Vision-guided robotic actuators handle mirror and laser adjustments, eliminating manual optical bench work.
Month 16
Self-sealing modular cryogenic hardware replaces legacy plumbing and manual vacuum system maintenance.
Year 2.1
Machine learning models interpret experimental results directly, removing the need for human analysis.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The entire laboratory apparatus is now fully self-correcting, rendering the postdoc position historically unnecessary.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
