An AI apprentice learns the art of tuning quantum processors and surpasses its teachers in speed and accuracy.

Tuning a quantum processor is monotonous work: you need to calibrate each qubit — a quantum cell — much like a watchmaker adjusting dozens of tiny gears. Humans get tired and make mistakes.

The Vibe Calibration system acts like a capable apprentice — it watches the expert, copies their actions, and over time starts working faster and more accurately, correcting errors on its own.

Now this "apprentice" carries out parameter measurements, makes decisions, and keeps records on its own. At its core is a language model that typically generates text, but here it controls real hardware. The system doesn't just repeat memorized steps; it understands the essence, so it handles unexpected situations and easily transfers skills to other chips. Reducing chaos in the system yields stable results.

Vibe Calibration is powered by a large language model — the same technology behind ChatGPT, but adapted for quantum physics.
