Photons are the physical system of choice for performing experimental tests foundations quantum mechanics. Furthermore, photonic technology is a main player in second revolution, promising development better sensors, secure communications, and quantum-enhanced computation. These endeavors require generating specific states or efficiently tasks. The design corresponding optical experiments was historically powered by human creativity but recently being automated with advanced computer algorithms artificial intelligence. While several computer-designed have been experimentally realized, this approach has not yet widely adopted broader optics community. roadblocks consist most systems closed-source, inefficient, targeted to very use-cases that difficult generalize. Here, we overcome these problems highly-efficient, open-source digital discovery framework PyTheus, which can employ wide range devices from modern labs solve various This includes highly entangled states, measurement schemes, communication protocols, multi-particle gates, as well optimization continuous discrete properties states. PyTheus produces interpretable designs complex researchers often readily conceptualize. an example powerful lead scientific discoveries -- one core goals intelligence science. We hope it will help accelerate provide new ideas hardware technology.
