calibrates quantum gates without human supervision
You trap neutral atoms with laser arrays and manage vacuum chambers to simulate quantum operations. Your existence is basically expensive housekeeping for tiny, cold particles.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still perform the weird ritual of realigning optics by ear when everything breaks.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI agents begin shadowing your logs to predict equipment failure before you notice.
Month 10
Vision-guided piezoelectric mounts replace your manual turning of optical mirror knobs.
Year 2
Automated feedback systems manage liquid helium flow better than any human physicist.
Year 3.1
Sensor-laden robotic crawlers maintain the vacuum seals without human inspection visits.
Year 4 · D-Day
The lab autonomously iterates on quantum circuits, making your presence a literal liability.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
