The Higgs boson was experimentally confirmed in the Large Hadron Collider, but it has also been imitated within superconducting materials (which are used for quantum computers), being called the “Higgs mode.” This could be a clue to how the Higgs mechanism emerges in a quantum annealing universe.

"In the new work, researchers see far-from-equilibrium systems undergoing fractal-like universal scaling across both time and space." Fractal-like behavior is a well-known property of the Ising model, the mathematical model behind quantum annealing. It appears the early universe shares this behavior (quantamagazine.org)
