Roadmap

From automation to intelligence — the next stage of Quatm

Current stage

Quatm already provides standardised, fully automated experiment operation. The experimentalist writes the experiment description; the framework handles:

  • instrument initialisation and state checks;
  • multi-dimensional parameter scans;
  • real-time acquisition and analysis;
  • storage and visualisation;
  • queueing and unattended operation.

Next: AI-assisted quantum laboratories

We are training domain models for the daily work of a quantum-physics laboratory. The goal is a system that can understand and execute:

CapabilityObjective
Instrument operationcontrol lasers, magnets, cameras and RF sources autonomously
Parameter optimisationtune experiment parameters from live feedback
Fault diagnosisdetect abnormal states and execute recovery procedures
Experiment designgenerate sequences from a physical objective
Data analysisselect and configure analysis pipelines

This work builds on Quatm’s structured experiment descriptions, device model and data archive: the AI layer operates on well-defined interfaces rather than ad-hoc scripts.
