Scientists Use Quantum , Computing to Simulate , Wormhole Dynamics.<br />Science Alert reports that scientists have successfully <br />created a quantum computing experiment <br />designed to study the dynamics of wormholes.<br />The researchers are searching for shortcuts <br />through spacetime that could help <br />dodge relativity's cosmic speed limit.<br />We found a quantum system that exhibits <br />key properties of a gravitational wormhole, <br />yet is sufficiently small to implement <br />on today's quantum hardware, Maria Spiropulu, Caltech physicist, via Science Alert.<br />Science Alert points out that the team's work is still <br />just a simulation, and physicists still don't know the <br />conditions that could create a traversable wormhole.<br />The main goal of the research was to work out a concept <br />known as quantum gravity, which aims to unify the <br />theories of quantum mechanics with general relativity.<br />According to Science Alert, one of the main questions<br />is whether wormhole teleportation works on the same <br />principles that explain quantum entanglement.<br />The team's simulation, based on a theoretical framework <br />known as the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, or SYK, applies the <br />physics of quantum entanglement to wormhole dynamics. .<br />The simulation runs on Google's Sycamore <br />quantum processing chip with assistance <br />from conventional machine-learning tools. .<br />The relationship between quantum <br />entanglement, spacetime, and quantum <br />gravity is one of the most important <br />questions in fundamental physics and <br />an active area of theoretical research, Maria Spiropulu, Caltech physicist, via Science Alert
