摘要 Job-search platforms rely on low-bandwidth query interfaces that often fail to capture the high-dimensional complexity of candidate profiles. We present an end-to-end RLAIF (Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback) framework to generate \emph{portable} job search queries, terms that abstract away seeker-specific identifiers while preserving generalizable qualifications. This task introduces a highly adversarial reward surface where policy optimization frequently exploits flaws in LLM-as-judge rubrics, resulting in degenerate verbatim-copying behaviors. We conducted comprehensive empirical experiments to isolate the impact of optimization mechanics against structured reward engineering. Our results demonstrate that for critic-free optimizers, performance is overwhelmingly dictated by robust reward shaping, rendering the specific choice of algorithm largely immaterial. While critic-free per-rollout baseline methods (RLOO and REINFORCE++) natively resist reward-hacking, the group-relative advantage normalization in GRPO appears uniquely sensitive to spurious reward signals, making it disproportionately susceptible to exploitation. We show that introducing a deterministic, rule-based reward floor to correct for rewards assigned to verbatim copying mitigates this failure mode, resulting in a substantial $+0.147$ quality improvement on a cross-family evaluation judge. Ultimately, we show that the training-time reward model inflates performance gains by $2.4\times$, confirming that the training success is fundamentally dependent on enforcing reward-shaping disciplines rather than selecting alternative optimizers.

摘要 Large-language-model (LLM) agents can write and run experimental control code. This allows laboratory work to be conducted autonomously. However, this autonomy raises a safety problem that prior work has not addressed. Unchecked code can damage the apparatus, and there is no formal, per-operation boundary between human authorization/supervision, and agent decisions. We present a control system that places an LLM agent in the loop of a trapped-ion experiment while enforcing such a boundary. The agent controls the existing Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics (ARTIQ) stack through tools provided by a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. No tool call reaches the hardware unless it carries an authorization token bound to its exact contents. Tokens are issued in one of two ways: automatically, by running the agent's proposed script in an isolated hardware simulation (dax.sim) and checking every operation against preset per-device bounds, or manually by a human operator for sensitive actions. Within this boundary the agent develops its own experiments, rather than only calling pre-built routines. We deploy the system on a co-trapped $^{40}$Ca$^{+}$/$^{40}$CaOH$^{+}$ crystal, where the agent autonomously builds a full calibration stack and, with targeted operator guidance, closes a cross-instrument magnetic-field-stabilization loop. On a separate, independent $^{171}$Yb$^{+}$ platform, we confirm interface-level portability. We systematically test token-authorization mechanism with adversarial scripts that attempt to bypass it, mapping the precise boundary of its protection and prioritizing where to strengthen it next. Analyzing where the agent still requires human guidance, we find that its limits lie in metacognitive control, namely recognizing when a problem must be re-framed, rather than in domain knowledge.
