autocalibrates quantum gates without human oversight
You oversee laser alignments and optical fiber integration for quantum hardware. Your job ends when the chips self-align.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when the optical table is vibrating just by resting your palm on it.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Cameras track laser stability faster than your tired human eyes.
Month 5
Precision piezo-stages replace your shaky hands during coupling procedures.
Month 13
Active dampening systems make your vibration-mitigation expertise entirely redundant.
Month 21
Wafer-level assembly eliminates the need for manual component integration.
Year 2.3 · D-Day
The system configures its own hardware; your build logs go dark.
