EP205: Qiushi AI Discovers Optical Computing Hardware

Title: End-to-end autonomous scientific discovery on a real optical platformSource: http://arxiv.org/abs/2604.27092v1Summary:This work marks a milestone by demonstrating the first AI agentic system to autonomously identify and experimentally validate a previously unreported physical mechanism. It introduces a novel dual-layer architecture and Meta-Trace memory to maintain stable research trajectories over long-horizon, complex investigations.
