According to Reuters on December 1, American scientists published a paper in Nature on Wednesday, saying that they simulated two miniature holographic black holes in quantum computer and transmitted information between the two wormholes through a channel equivalent to a space-time tunnel. However, the experiment did not physically create cracks in space and time, so it is still very far away from teleporting people or objects in two space-time through wormholes, and it still belongs to the field of science fiction.

wormholes are believed to exist in cracks in time and space, and are also considered to be bridges between two distant areas in the universe. The relevant theories were proposed by physicists Einstein and Rosen, because scientists also called the wormhole Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
According to a paper published in the journal Nature, scientists simulated two micro black holes in a quantum computer, which can transmit quantum information. Joseph Lincoln, a physicist at Fermi Laboratory in the United States and one of the co-authors of the
paper, said that it looks like a wormhole in terms of the characteristics they are seeing so far.
corresponding author of the paper, Maria Spiropo, Caltech University's USA, described these two holographic wormholes as having the characteristics of "baby wormholes" and hopes to gradually create "toddler wormholes" and "adult wormholes". This is said to be simulated and observed on devices using Google (Google) Sycamore processors.
experts who did not participate in this experiment reminded that it should be noted that the researchers did not actually create physical wormholes, but this possibility is not ruled out in the future.
MIT physicist Daniel Harlow said in an interview with "New York Times " that the experiment is based on a very simple model, just as simple as we use pen and paper. "This study did not find unknown knowledge about quantum gravity ," Harlow said. "But on the other hand, I think this is exciting as a technological achievement, because if we can't even do this, then experiments that simulate more interesting quantum gravity theory will be put on hold."
researchers themselves have also made it clear that scientists still have a long way to go to achieve the use of wormholes to transmit humans or other organisms. Joseph Lincoln emphasized that there is a difference between theoretical possibilities and practical possibilities.
"So don't expect to send your dog out of the wormhole right now. But you have to start from a certain starting point. I think it's really exciting for me to be able to do that right now," said Joseph Lincoln.
