The first-ever wormhole, a theoretical passage that creates shortcuts in space-time, has been created for the inside of a quantum computer in a breakthrough that could lead to the first observation of one in space.
While this tunnel is not through actual space, scientists made it by simulating two black holes in the system, one on each side, and used it to 'teleport' messages.
The holographic wormhole will be the first time scientists can analyze how the passage would work since the idea was proposed nearly 100 years ago.
Daniel Jafferis of Harvard and co-author of the study said that the innovation is not a hologram that can be seen but is 'a filament of real space-time.'
A wormhole is a theorized passage that creates a shortcut in space-time, the 3-D 'fabric' that makes up space, which can be warped and distorted. Scientists created one in a quantum computer
A wormhole is a type of bridge that could form when space-time is folded. Space-time is the 3-D 'fabric' that makes up space, which can be warped and distorted.
The passage is described as a structure that connects two distant parts in spacetime, acting as a shortcut from one to the other. And the points can be billions of light-years away.
While Albert Einstein and physicist Nathan Rosen are known for proposing the theory dubbed Einstein-Rosen bridges in 1935, the idea was first shared in 1928 by German mathematician Hermann Weyl.
Weyl, however, referred to it as 'one-dimensional tubes.'
Physicist John Wheeler was the first to call it 'wormhole' in the 1950s.
Maria Spiropulu at the California Institute of Technology and her colleagues used Google’s Sycamore quantum computer to simulate a holographic wormhole.
