Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe.

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking experiment where researchers at the University of Innsbruck, in collaboration with Google Quantum AI, utilized a quantum computer to simulate a phenomenon known as false vacuum decay. This simulation explores the stability of the universe by examining how a false vacuum, a state of lower energy than the true vacuum, could potentially decay into a more stable state, potentially leading to catastrophic events like the collapse of the universe. The experiment used Google's Sycamore quantum processor to model this decay, providing insights into quantum field theories and the early universe's conditions. This work not only pushes the boundaries of quantum computing applications but also offers a deeper understanding of fundamental physics, potentially confirming or challenging existing theories about the universe's stability.
