Language models and agents in condensed matter, materials and quantum research
Preprints and papers from 18 April to 18 October 2026, retrieved by registered searches of arXiv and OpenAlex for a language model named in the title or abstract and a condensed-matter, materials or quantum domain, and labelled by AI coders. The searches miss papers that mention AI only in the body. Companion to a commentary in the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics. Labels describe what a paper is about; referee scores are not published.
