Harvard physics professor Matthew Schwartz guides Claude Opus 4.5 to perform NLL re-sum calculation of Sudakov shoulder in C-parameter, producing a high-energy theoretical physics thesis containing a new factorization theorem within two weeks, while similar work usually takes a year.
Why it matters: Harvard physics professor uses two weeks, 110 drafts, and 36M tokens to let Claude complete a high-energy physics thesis, listing point by point what the model can and cannot do.
