Wormhole on a quantum chip ⚡ экспресс
Quantum teleportation, motivated by holographic considerations, was experimentally demonstrated on a quantum processor. The teleportation is enabled by strongly entangled chaotic dynamics of a many-body system. A traversable wormhole protocol was implemented using a chaotic binary sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with N=8. The approach sharply reduces circuit depth for NISQ devices while preserving spectral chaos for gravitational duality. Diagnosing the teleportation signal via mutual information shows that although intrinsic noise of NISQ hardware prevents perfect quantitative agreement with exact numerical simulations, the experimental results clearly exhibit a key qualitative signature: an asymmetry that depends on the sign. The work creates a scalable framework for holographic simulations and an empirical playground for quantum gravity.
Physicists found out: to open a wormhole, you have to shake it hard. Not literally — but on a quantum chip, they simulated a system of 8 particles, so chaotic and entangled that it turned into a vibrating hologram of a black hole. The theory of Susskind and Kitaev came to life in a real, though noisy, processor: the stronger the system's jitter, the clearer the tunnel emerges.
A signal was sent through this virtual funnel. It passed through, but came out with different intensity: the positive impulse passed differently than the negative one. Exactly how a real traversable wormhole would behave. The equipment's noise didn't erase the picture, but only confirmed it — for teleportation, internal shaking is exactly what's needed.
The main surprise: the same math describes any black hole as a holographic projector. All infalling information doesn't disappear, but is sort of recorded on its surface — like on a trembling film. Now physicists have a miniature proving ground for testing such ideas, which John Preskill dreamed of.
🎯 The idea that gravity can emerge from entanglement is called the holographic principle — as if our three-dimensional world is projected from a flat surface.
🎬 In Interstellar, the wormhole was meant for people, and here — for signals, but the principle is the same.
