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 physics-informed surrogate with a PPO-based pulse optimizer. The surrogate is iteratively fine-tuned on policy-induced trajectories, correcting extrapolation errors as the optimizer shifts the input distribution; the optimizer queries this evolving surrogate as a fast environment. In the 1D MULTI environment, Co4ICF achieves 146.1% normalized yield based on current laser design baseline; as a post-hoc cross-fidelity check, the optimized pulse further attains 246.9% normalized yield when directly evaluated in 2D-MULTI without any 2D training or fine-tuning. Budget-matched ablations support that the gains are not explained solely by additional simulation data and are consistent with the co-evolving mechanism playing a key role. We release a large-scale MULTI-IFE simulation dataset to support future benchmarking.
