Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a state of matter that is believed to have existed shortly after the Big Bang, when the universe was extremely hot and dense. In this state, quarks and gluons—the fundamental constituents of protons and neutrons—are no longer confined within individual hadrons (like protons and neutrons) but instead exist freely in a "soup" of strongly interacting particles.
