arXiv:2608. 07138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulated commissioning has become essential for de-risking modern light-source design and commissioning, but the procedures being simulated are still designed entirely by human experts.

arXiv:2603. 30014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Production and Distributed Analysis (PanDA) system, originally developed for the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has evolved into a robust platform for orchestrating large-scale workflows across distributed computing resources.

AI is accelerating physics discovery, but perhaps away from Einstein-level theory building. To understand this gap, we must recognize a striking trend: while being very successful, the most visible AI contributions to physics discovery appear to mirror the historical development of physics, but in reverse.
arXiv:2608. 14407v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a survey of the past and future of AI Scientists: machines capable of automating science.

A central premise of autonomous scientific imaging is that smarter navigation, whether Bayesian, RL-based, or otherwise adaptive, is the principal lever for sample-efficient acquisition. We present evidence to the contrary in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), an atomic-resolution imaging modality whose every measurement deposits damaging electron dose.

arXiv:2607. 20302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum machine learning (QML) algorithms in high energy physics (HEP) can efficiently represent and leverage long-range, high-order correlations in high-dimensional collider data, potentially with fewer parameters and favorable scaling relative to classical models.
