Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent ...

The reality we understand and interact with daily might, according to some scientists, be nothing more than an elaborate ...

The universe could undergo a catastrophe that would change absolutely everything, scientists have shown using a quantum machine. The groundbreaking simulation allowed scientists to better ...

The fundamental parameters of the Universe might be universally constant. But they might also be 'constants' set by a simulation... or a simulator.

While our expanding universe is a perfectly valid solution to the equations of general relativity, physicists have increasingly realized that its growth spells trouble for quantum mechanics, by ...

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many ...

The universe seems stable, but an unlikely shift in the Higgs field, a quantum field that pervades all of space, could trigger a bubble that passes through the universe, annihilating all matter.

Towards quantum simulation of false vacuum decay Date: January 22, 2022 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: By shaking an optical lattice potential, researchers have realized a discontinuous ...

Researchers performed the first-ever simulation of baryons -- fundamental quantum particles -- on a quantum computer.
