Quantum Computer Models How Particles ‘Pop’ Into Existence From Energy

Quantum Computers Just Recreated How Matter Was Born In The Big Bang

Researchers have successfully simulated the birth of fundamental matter on three separate quantum computers, replicating subatomic phenomena observed only in particle colliders or in situ at the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang. Central to the breakthrough lies in the string breaking and hadronization phenomenon, i.e. the mechanism by
