- GPT‑5.6 Sol had more difficulty when experimental signals were weak or noisy
Summary
Quantum computing is an emerging technology that uses the unique properties of quantum mechanics to process information. Beatriz Yankelevich, a graduate student in MIT’s Engineering Quantum Systems Group (EQuS), used GPT‑5.6 Sol, harnessed to Codex, to explore whether AI could streamline her experimental workflow. Once a superconducting qubit chip has been fabricated, packaged, and cooled, researchers interact with it entirely through software, making Yankelevich’s experiments a natural testbed for AI agents. Superconducting qubits are often called artificial atoms because, like atoms, they can only occupy specific energy levels.
