Researchers supported by the American Physical Society report a simulation of particle creation using ultracold atoms, reproducing in the lab effects that normally occur in extreme environments such as the early universe or near black holes. The work uses cold atomic gases to model quantum field behavior that is otherwise impossible to observe directly, drawing attention from the physics community.

Researchers report simulating quantum vacuum conditions on a quantum computer, observing particle pairs appear to pop into existence in real time. The demonstration offers a way to visualize effects that are normally impossible to observe directly, and physicists say such simulations could deepen understanding of quantum field theory and the fundamental nature of empty space.
