Co4ICF: Co-evolving Physics-Informed Surrogate and RL-based Pulse Optimizer for Inertial Confinement Fusion
Jiatong Zhao, Tengyue Zhang, Yuhan Wang, Fuyuan Wu, Junchi Yan
Offline-trained surrogates for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) suffer a well-known failure mode that iterative optimizers drive inputs into out-of-distribution (OOD) regions where predictions become unreliable. Here we present Co4ICF, a co-evolving framework that couples a phys…
