Scientists created a quantum computing experiment for studying the dynamics of wormholes – that is, shortcuts through spacetime that could get around relativity’s cosmic speed limits. The main aim of the research was to shed light on a concept known as quantum gravity, which seeks to unify the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics. The researchers inserted a quantum bit, or qubit, of encoded information into one of two entangled systems – and then watched the information emerge from the other system. From their perspective, it was as if the qubit passed between black holes through a wormhole. This wormhole simulation is nothing more than a simulation, analogous to a computer-generated black hole or supernova. The simulation allowed information to flow from one system to the other when the computerized . . .
