Simulating nonequilibrium fundamental physics, including high-energy and cosmological phenomena using condensed-matter systems, AMO platforms, quantum simulators, and quantum-computing platforms, has a long history. I will discuss the development of these studies (e.g., simulations of quantum field theory in curved spacetime) as I have observed them since my PhD, and present my own research on the Kibble–Zurek mechanism, whose original aim was to mimic cosmological phase transitions in condensed-matter systems.
I will also present my machine-learning studies related to the Kibble–Zurek mechanism and outline future plans to connect these works to high-energy physics through scattering studies at the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics, University of Tokyo.
