Haiqu launches AgenticOS, a team of AI agents that plans and checks quantum experiments

[Glassy Falcon]

Quantum software company Haiqu has launched AgenticOS, which uses coordinated teams of specialised AI agents to plan quantum experiments, check results and prepare them for hardware, with human oversight, The Quantum Insider reports. The agents review the literature, derive results from first principles, assess whether a quantum approach is feasible and check outcomes against classical baselines. Critic agents also review the work. The results reported in the article are Haiqu's own

In a chemistry test, four out of ten runs without AgenticOS ignored an explicit setup instruction. With it, the models followed the approved protocol and landed within about 3.4 percent of the exact reference result. In a second test, AgenticOS designed a doped, frustrated Hubbard model experiment on a three by three grid and ran it on an IBM quantum computer. Haiqu reports a 75 percent cut in circuit depth

Finished plans pass to Haiqu's software development kit and runtime, which target hardware from IBM, IonQ, IQM, AWS and others. AgenticOS is available now to enterprise research teams on request, with free academic access. Chief technology officer Mykola Maksymenko said: "AgenticOS takes on much of that labor-intensive work, freeing up researchers." Chief executive Richard Givhan said: "Every lab will soon have access to the same powerful AI."

It is an interesting combination of two of this forum's favourite topics. AI agents are increasingly being used to do scientific work, from OpenAI's maths results to the AI swarms at the Berlin summit that cut the resources needed to break ECDSA. The critic agents and checks against classical baselines are a sensible response to the problem of AI making confident mistakes. Whether they work as well as claimed will need independent testing

Would you trust AI agents to design quantum experiments? And is AI going to speed up quantum research more than quantum speeds up AI?
