United States: Researchers have announced that they have succeeded in simulating two miniscule black holes in a quantum computer and transferred a message between the holes through what amounted to a tunnel in space-time.
A wormhole, a rupture in space and time, is considered a bridge connecting two faraway regions in the universe. They are referred to as Einstein–Rosen bridges after the two scientists who defined them, Mr. Albert Einstein and Mr. Nathan Rosen.
The wormholes are in accordance with Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which concentrates on gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the universe. The term “wormhole” was coined by physicist Mr. John Wheeler in the 1950s.
It looks like a duck, it walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck. So that’s what we can say at this point, that we have something that in terms of the properties we look at, it looks like a wormhole.
Mr. Joseph Lykken, Physicist at Fermilab America, stated.
According to the study published in the journal Nature, a traversable wormhole has arisen based on the quantum information that was transferred, but no actual rupture of space and time was produced in the experiment.
Caltech physicist Ms. Maria Spiropulu, the study’s co-author, identified it as having the features of a “baby wormhole” and hopes to build “adult wormholes and toddler wormholes step-by-step.”
The Google Sycamore quantum processor, a quantum device, was used to observe the wormhole dynamics.
Mr. Daniel Harlow, a Physicist at MIT, stated that, ” I think it is exciting as a technical achievement, because if we can’t even do this (and until now we couldn’t), then simulating more interesting quantum gravity theories would certainly be off the table.”
