Successfully simulating the space-time curve

Cornell University claims to have found a way to simulate the space-time curve with laboratory devices. Accordingly, when placing a supercooled atom in a laser grid combined with ensuring compliance with the laws of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, the atom will have the same state as on the non-temporal curve time.

This method not only allows for the study of quantum mechanics intuitively, but also helps the dream of making spacecraft faster than the speed of light or even the time machine is closer to reality.

One way to discover the relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity is to observe the temporal curve - the space under the ultra-small scale. However, the curve - spacetime occurs only in extreme conditions such as at the edge of a black hole or in the moment immediately after the Big Bang. This is the biggest barrier for quantum theory to exist in theory only and researchers cannot conduct empirical experiments. However, Nikodem Szpak, a doctor of physics at Cornell University, claimed to have found a way to simulate space-time curvature in a normal quantum laboratory.

Changing optical network parameters, changing mathematical parameters, thereby simulating the operation of the space-time curve

The idea is based on an optical network created from pairs of laser lasers intertwined. When a super-cold atom is dropped into this network, it will be trapped in the same way as a ping pong ball dropped into an egg container. Basically, this optical trapping technique is quite common in quantum laboratories around the world. However, when the atom is in a super-cold state, it will stand in a fixed position that will "tunnel" from one place to another.This "tunnel" is a form that moves through the network and can be controlled by changing the parameters of the lasers to make it more difficult to travel.

Dr. Szpak's way of creating a curve is similar, but under a larger size. At that time, the "tunnel motion" of the atom will be converted by mathematical formulas into motion in flat space. In other words, we can completely simulate the space-time curve in the laboratory by changing the laser parameters of the optical network . Specifically, laser parameters will be changed over time to simulate the variation of gravitational waves.

Successfully simulating the space-time curve in the laboratory is seen as a major step forward in quantum physics, allowing researchers to examine quantum laws for the first time under normal conditions. However, the above method needs to be further developed and verified in the future. The challenge is to bring the atom's temperature to absolute zero. If successful, the above method also helps people understand the quantum principles of the universe visually instead of using hypotheses as ever.
