In partnership with the Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon in Portugal, researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom have employed state-of-the-art computational models to simulate, for the first time, the three-dimensional, real-time process by which a powerful laser beam alters the "quantum vacuum." This groundbreaking achievement signifies the successful simulation of the interaction between light and vacuum space in a laboratory setting, transforming a once science fiction notion into scientific reality. The groundbreaking research has been published in the esteemed journal Communications Physics.
