First simulation of a wormhole on a quantum computer

  • 8 תגובות
A team of researchers from Harvard University, MIT and Calcutta in collaboration with Google successfully simulated a traversable wormhole with the help of a quantum computer. The experiment performed on Google's quantum processor demonstrated the passage of information in the interlaced system. According to the principle of holography, the physics demonstrated in the experiment is the same as that of particles passing through wormholes. Although it was conducted on only nine qubits, the experiment is of great importance because it illustrates for the first time the possibility of testing quantum gravity with the help of entangled systems.

In this photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope, you see dark knots of gas and dust called "Bok globules" - compressed pockets in larger molecular clouds. Such islands of matter in the early universe may have contained water vapor as we see in our galaxy today, although they contained much less oxygen.

Surprising discovery: the ancient gas clouds, from which the stars and galaxies in the universe were formed, contained a significant amount of water
