Quantum Physics states there is no beginning and no end. So when we look at the term "nothing" wouldn't "nothing" just mean what has yet to happen?

Not sure why you're equating nothing to time. The term nothing in QFT would be used when describing the lowest state of energy possible, a vacuum.

I always found the term "infinite" very interesting, to think our universe could be infinite just blows the mind and how many possibilities we do not know and see. And with Quantum Physics, it really just bends the laws of logic as we know it.

are you referencing the 2015 paper in which some QM profs conclude the big bang is not an accurate model for the beginning

because the general theory of quantum physics does not posit anything about the beginning (or the end)

it provides a probability-based mathematical model of momentum and position of particles with size on the order of electrons.

generally speaking most probability functions do not fully go to 0 anywhere without being collapsed by a measurement

All the shit you know about quantum is going to continually change so making any assumptions based on it is baseless and an exercise in futility

Not really, just that the Big Bang is outside the scope of the theory.

That's the future. 'Nothing' is just the lowest energy level of the vacuum.

But is infinity possible in reality and not just in theories?

Well it depends on how you look into it, scientists that have argued that infinitely is fact and is backed by the fact everything is in motion, for example everything moves in space, planets, stars, moons, galaxies, hell maybe even the universe and beyond. Everything is made of energy and energy can't be destroyed and only multiplied and changed. Then there's everything is made up of something else, for example, looking at micro and macro biology it states that everything is made of something else and the cycle just keeps going, if it's micro it gets smaller and smaller, if it's macro it gets bigger and bigger.

Isn't that just what they call the lowest energy state?

Looking at it now, you're right, compared to everything else it makes much more sense.
