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

In quantum theory, in effect, the vacuum is also a 'medium', as we now ... the 'relativistic flying parabolic mirror'. On entering plasma, a powerful laser pulse produces an electric field in ...

Quantum plasmas and atomic interactions are critical areas of research that explore how atomic systems behave in plasma environments, particularly under conditions of non-ideality and screening ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

It is often speculated that quantum computing may bring the desired game-changing capabilities. However, there is a wide gap between promised quantum advantages on fault-tolerant computers versus what ...
