At the California Institute of Technology they have created a wormhole simulation for the first time, the experiment did not create a real wormhole, which would mean a tear in the fabric of space-time, it is a computer simulation something that allows scientists to investigate the connections between theoretical wormholes and quantum physics and thus further the search for quantum gravity, something that has been theoretically predicted but we have yet to detect.
Quantum gravity refers to a set of theories that seek to connect the traditional gravity of the world we know, which affects everything from how an apple falls (from micro) to how planets and stars move (to macro) to what There is in the world of the extremely small, the quantum realm, there things work very differently, Newton could fall on the apple or Newton could fly towards the apple or both can happen at the same time.
They are two fundamental and well-studied descriptions of nature, but they seem incompatible with each other, it is strange that the universe where we live is so different depending on the size of things, they are not the same laws for us as for the subatomic particles of which we curiously we are formed.
And here wormholes come into play, structures that seem to have the best of both worlds, ours and the quantum world, in theory they would be bridges between two remote regions in space-time, one has never been observed in nature , but scientists have theorized about its existence and properties for almost 100 years.
In 1935 Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen described wormholes as tunneling through the fabric of space-time in accordance with Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes gravity as a curvature of that fabric of space-time, in Origin These tunnels are called Einstein-Rosen bridges by the two physicists who theorized them, while the term wormhole was coined by physicist John Wheelere in the 1950s.
Scientists making news now have developed for the first time a quantum experiment that allows them to study the dynamics or behavior of a special type of theoretical wormhole, they found a quantum system that exhibits key properties of a gravitational wormhole, but is Small enough to be implemented in current quantum hardware, this work is a step toward a larger program to test the physics of quantum gravity, using a quantum computer.
Researchers at the California institute tried to open the wormhole using pulses of negative repulsive energy or the opposite energy, but were only able to observe the characteristics of a traversable wormhole only when the equivalent of negative energy was applied, which is consistent with the expected behavior of wormholes.
In the experiment, the researchers inserted a qubit that is the quantum equivalent of a bit into conventional silicon-based computers, which we all have. Once inserted, they observed that the energy information from another system, that is, the qubit information traveled from one quantum system to another. another through quantum teleportation or, in other words, quantum information passed through a wormhole.
In the future The researchers hope to extend this work to more complex quantum circuits, although large-scale quantum computers are still years away, the team plans to continue conducting experiments of this nature on existing quantum computing platforms.
If current computers have managed to radically change our world, what will quantum computers that are millions of times more powerful.
