- 1Quantum Simulator Captures Process That Breaks Quark Strings▼Quantum simulator captures a strange process that can break quark strings
Researchers have used a quantum simulator to observe a strange process capable of breaking quark strings, the gluon-based connections that bind quarks inside particles like protons. Studying string breaking directly has been beyond classical computers, so simulating it quantum mechanically marks a step forward in understanding how quarks separate and how confinement works in quantum chromodynamics.

David Gross, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, has said the chances that humanity survives another 50 years are very low. The French science magazine Science et Vie published his warning, and it is circulating widely in French-speaking online discussions. Gross, honoured for work on quantum chromodynamics, did not detail the specific risks behind his stark assessment.
