US Department of Energy Breakthrough: Detecting Dark Matter with Quantum Computers

In a new breakthrough, scientists from the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab have found a way to detect dark matter using quantum computers. Dark matter accounts for about 27% of the universe’s material and energy balance, but scientists don’t know much about it. They know it’s cold, which means the particles that make up dark …

A ‘wormhole’ built on a quantum computer teleported information as expected

For the first time, scientists have created a quantum computing experiment to study the dynamics of wormholes, i.e. shortcuts in spacetime that could circumvent the cosmic speed limits of relativity . Wormholes have traditionally been a part of science fiction, ranging from Jodie Foster’s mad dash to Contact the twists and turns of the plot …

Muller (Caltech) Physicists observe the dynamics of wormholes using a quantum computer in a step towards studying quantum gravity in the laboratory. For the first time, scientists have developed a quantum experiment that allows them to study the dynamics, or …

Have physicists created a wormhole in a quantum computer?

An artistic representation of the quantum teleportation experiment. Physicists used a quantum computer to perform a new kind of quantum teleportation, the ability of quantum states to be transported between distant places, as if information could travel instantaneously. Although teleportation is an established technique in quantum technology, the purpose of the latest experiment was to …
