AI Designs Quantum Physics Experiments Beyond What Any Human Has Conceived

Interesting- Theseus, the improved solution, sounds more like a constraint programming solver than an AI. The original program Melvin seems to have lacked some constraints that were added to Theseus, but maybe it was also CP based?

>The program searched through a large space of configurations by randomly mixing and matching the building blocks, performed the calculations and spat out the result. MELVIN was born. “Within a few hours, the program found a solution that we scientists—three experimentalists and one theorist—could not come up with for months,” Krenn says. “That was a crazy day. I could not believe that it happened.”
