- 1Quantum computer simulates matter popping into existence▼Quantum computer simulates matter “popping into existence”
Researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate particles of matter effectively popping into existence, reproducing a phenomenon predicted by quantum field theory. The experiment demonstrates how quantum machines can model processes that are extremely difficult for classical computers, offering a new way to study the fundamental behavior of the universe. Physicists see it as a step toward simulating complex particle interactions directly.
- 2Large Hadron Collider Shutdown Process Has Begun●The Disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider Has Begun
CERN's Large Hadron Collider is beginning its disconnection process, marking a pause in operations at the world's largest particle accelerator. The shutdown is part of the collider's planned cycle of maintenance and upgrades between experimental runs, allowing scientists to improve the machine before the next round of particle collisions. Observers are watching what the pause means for physics research.
- 3Filipino astrophysicist Reinabelle Reyes inspires new generation of scientists●Dr. Reinabelle Reyes paves the way for more Filipino scientists
Dr. Reinabelle Reyes, a Filipino astrophysicist known for her work in particle physics and data science, is being celebrated for opening doors for more Filipinos in science. A PeopleAsia feature highlights her career and her role as a role model, encouraging young Filipinos to pursue scientific research at home and abroad.
- 4Claude tops Dixon's record with nine-loop physics amplitude●Claude beats Dixon's record and computes a nine-loop physics amplitude
Claude, the AI assistant developed by Anthropic, is claimed to have beaten a record associated with physicist Lance Dixon by computing a nine-loop physics amplitude. The claim suggests a major step for artificial intelligence in theoretical physics, where multi-loop amplitudes describe particle interactions and are notoriously hard to calculate.
