Quick Summary
Overview
Overview: FirstPrinciples is an independent, non-profit research organization building Theo, the AI Physicist - an autonomous scientific system designed to reason about fundamental physics from first principles.
Technical Tools
express
- the research question;
- assumptions and representations;
- hypotheses considered;
- reasoning paths explored;
- evaluations performed; and
- final conclusions.
DROs are designed to make the entire scientific workflow (including failed paths) auditable and understandable by humans.
A core goal of the Theo Collaborators Program is to help ensure that these DROs are scientifically sound, coherent, and credible.
- Work in quantum information theory, QEC, or closely related areas.
- Have strong theoretical and mathematical grounding.
- Are curious, but appropriately skeptical, about AI-assisted research.
- Value rigor, clarity, and intellectual honesty.
- Are comfortable engaging with exploratory, incomplete results.
Typical profiles include:
- Late-stage PhD students
- Postdoctoral researchers
- Early-career faculty
- Industry researchers with strong theoretical backgrounds
