Scientists Simulated Space-Time on a Quantum Computer

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

Show Notes

Can gravity emerge from quantum physics? In this episode, we explore how scientists used a trapped-ion quantum computer to simulate the emergence of space-time from quantum entanglement.

By reproducing signatures of wormholes and curved geometry, the experiment offers a fascinating glimpse into one of physics' greatest mysteries—the search for a quantum theory of gravity.
