In January 2022, a small team of physicists watched breathlessly as data streamed out of Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore. A sharp peak indicated that their experiment had succeeded. They had mixed ...

Scientists and science-fiction writers alike have long been fascinated by wormholes—theoretical tunnels that link two points in space-time, potentially creating shortcuts for travel through the ...

Wormholes: the modern-day equivalent of the Philosopher’s stone, a concept that has captured the imagination of millions of sci-fi fans and has appeared in multiple films and novels. Alas, all of them ...

The unprecedented experiment explores the possibility that space-time somehow emerges from quantum information, even as the work’s interpretation remains disputed. Physicists have purportedly created ...

A quantum computer has been used to simulate a holographic wormhole for the first time. In this case, the word “holographic” indicates a way to simplify physics problems involving both quantum ...

Fancy a trip down a wormhole? We have never been quite sure whether these portals through space-time could exist long enough for anything to travel through. Now calculations suggest they could stick ...

Astronomers think they might be able to detect black holes falling into wormholes using ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves, but only if wormholes actually exist and such a scenario ever ...

Letters From the Universeproposes how to travel faster than the speed of light by utilizing wormholes that were mathematically predicted by Albert Einsteinand a new framework of the universe that may ...

When two wormholes collide, they could produce ripples in space-time that ricochet off themselves. Future instruments could detect these gravitational "echoes," providing evidence that these ...
