Imagine diving into a realm where the boundaries of space and time blur, where the fabric of reality can be manipulated and explored using the power of quantum mechanics. Once confined to the realm of science fiction, this groundbreaking feat has taken a remarkable step closer to reality with the recent creation of a holographic wormhole using a quantum computer.

Led by physicist Maria Spiropulu and her team at the California Institute of Technology, the physicists utilized Google’s quantum computer Sycamore to implement a novel “wormhole teleportation protocol.” This achievement marks a pivotal moment in our understanding of the connection between the seemingly disparate worlds of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The experiment unfolded with the team venturing into the uncharted territory of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where particles share a mysterious connection…
