Have physicists dug a wormhole in the lab? Not quite, but a new experiment hints at the future of quantum simulations
Scientists made headlines last week for allegedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves using a quantum computer to simulate a wormhole in a simplified physics model. Shortly after the news broke, physicists and quantum computing experts expressed skepticism that a wormhole had been created. Media coverage was chaotic. Outlets have reported that …
