This is among the more fascinating experiments of a generation

It ranks with the LIGO experiment as it confirms theories previously thought untestable

Also kind of head spinning to realize that this is based on nearly a century old work.

"To be clear, unlike an ordinary hologram, the wormhole isn’t something we can see. While it can be considered “a filament of real space-time,” according to co-author Daniel Jafferis of Harvard University, lead developer of the wormhole teleportation protocol, it’s not part of the same reality that we and the Sycamore computer inhabit. The holographic principle says that the two realities — the one with the wormhole and the one with the qubits — are alternate versions of the same physics, but how to conceptualize this kind of duality remains mysterious."
So it will be a while before Elon Musk can drive a Tesla through this wormhole 😀

We don’t even know, if the holographic principle is actually true.

Seems familiar...is that an interferometry apparatus?

Interesting, I wonder if it violates the light speed limitation of normal communication when quantum entangled qbit responds? Put another way, can this function as an FTL communication system? The sci-fi nerd in me really, really hopes so.
