Created from quantum mechanics

In summary, quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior and interactions of subatomic particles and has many practical applications. While it cannot explain the creation of life on its own, it provides insights into the fundamental building blocks of life. There are ongoing debates and controversies surrounding its role in the creation of the universe.

We know how things can be created from quantum mechanics, but can nothing be created as well?

Meaning VACUUM or VOID. What mean nothing?

Right. It all depends on what one defines as "nothing"

If a vacuum will do, then yes, there are techniques to create the conditions for very high vacuums.

But I don't think that's what your questioning.
