Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary particles. Researchers expected this transition to change how disordered the ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...
