QuPAINT is a physics‑aware multimodal framework designed to characterize two‑dimensional quantum materials using optical microscopy. It employs the Synthetic Materials Framework (Synthia) to generate diverse synthetic images that preserve layer‑dependent optical behavior, and builds the QMat‑Instruct dataset with image‑specific reasoning traces. The framework integrates these signals through Physics‑Informed Attention (PIA) and is evaluated on the newly introduced QF‑Bench benchmark, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance for flake detection and demonstrating improved spatial grounding and confidence calibration.

arXiv:2608. 07743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying a meaningful quantum speedup requires more than matching a classical problem to a familiar quantum primitive: the claim must preserve the task, respect access and output models, expose required promises, and remain within a defensible complexity scope.

The paper introduces an agentic-AI framework that autonomously operates an atomic force microscope (AFM) by integrating a large language model with instrument functions via the Model Context Protocol. Three MCP-based agents—AFM Messenger, AFM Pilot, and AFM Doctor—translate natural‑language instructions into commands, assess and adjust image quality, and diagnose artifacts with transparent post‑processing, respectively. Benchmarking shows that the guarded execution layer eliminates wrong‑command execution, and live experiments demonstrate that the AI matches expert operators in image quality and efficiency.

Qlippy is a retrieval‑augmented generative AI assistant designed to support reproducible quantum software development. It is embedded in the development environment and grounds its responses in a curated corpus of quantum‑software‑engineering knowledge, explaining reproducibility and provenance concepts in context. The assistant augments Qiskit programs with MLflow‑based experiment tracking that follows the QProv schema, thereby reducing reliance on large language models and enabling low‑cost, privacy‑preserving local deployment.

The paper introduces Quantum‑Harbor, a virtual laboratory that lets AI agents interact with quantum systems in a controlled setting, enabling verification of their actions and conclusions. Using this platform, the authors created QIQCBench, a benchmark of 49 expert‑authored tasks covering calibration, control, error correction, compilation, sensing, and networking. Testing 17 state‑of‑the‑art agentic systems on QIQCBench revealed wide variation in verified performance, highlighting a gap between demonstrated capability and reliable operation and positioning Quantum‑Harbor as a foundation for measuring progress toward verified autonomy in quantum engineering.
