Quark–gluon plasma (QGP or quark soup) is an interacting localized assembly of quarks and gluons at thermal (local kinetic) and (close to) chemical (abundance) equilibrium.

Dec 14, 2021 · Scientists have spotted a long hypothesized, never-seen-before state of matter in the laboratory for the first time. By firing lasers at an ultracold lattice of rubidium atoms, …

May 22, 2025 · Imagine dropping a rock into a soup—the thinner the broth, the faster the ripples will dissipate. Because the quantum soup has minimal viscosity, it will dissipate energy at the …

Sep 3, 2024 · Quantum soup is a theoretical model that attempts to describe the fundamental nature of reality at the quantum level. It posits that the universe is not made up of discrete …

Dec 6, 2024 · Three new species of superconductivity were spotted this year, illustrating the myriad ways electrons can join together to form a frictionless quantum soup.

Mar 19, 2024 · In these metals, electrons seem to lose their individual identities, acting more like a soup in which all the particles are connected through quantum entanglement.

Aug 3, 2025 · Quark–gluon plasma (QGP), or quark soup, is a state of matter in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that exists at extremely high temperatures and/or densities. Quarks …

Dec 20, 2016 · (informal) A vacuum in quantum chromodynamics where all elementary particles have a probability of appearing.

Mar 9, 2025 · Quantum soup is the theoretical foundation upon which all matter and energy exist. It is a swirling sea of subatomic particles, including electrons, quarks, and photons, that …

quantum soup noun An informal term for a Bose-Einstein condensate in which atoms cease to behave as separate entities at a temperature very close to absolute zero.
