This paper describes the architecture and workflow of the Hypothesis Generation Engine (HGE), a method-focused system for automated hypothesis formulation, experiment specification, and result interpretation. HGE operates independently of specific instrument backends, enabling validation across diverse experimental platforms. The approach emphasizes reproducibility, provenance tracking, and uncertainty-aware reasoning without claims of performance superiority over existing methods.

This methods note documents the validation approach for HGE using remote quantum hardware as a physical stress-test environment. The work examines how the system handles real-world experimental constraints including hardware noise, calibration drift, and queue-based execution. Findings focus on methodological considerations for instrument-agnostic validation rather than quantum computing performance metrics.
