Researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate particles of matter appearing out of the vacuum, reproducing a phenomenon predicted by quantum field theory in which energy can briefly convert into matter-antimatter pairs. The experiment offers a new way to study fundamental physics that is otherwise out of reach of traditional computers, and physicists say such simulations could help probe processes occurring in the early universe.

An AI system has reportedly set a record by independently computing a 9-loop physics amplitude, a Feynman diagram calculation far beyond typical human work. Most real-world perturbative calculations in quantum field theory stop at 2 or 3 loops due to their complexity. The result highlights how machine learning is beginning to automate some of the most demanding mathematical tasks in theoretical physics.
