Quantum Processor Simulates Traversable Wormhole, Confirming ER=EPR Transport — E8 Intelligence Research
Andrew Stewart Caldin
Abstract
FINDING: Traversable wormholes are realized as quantum-information protocols — the 2022 Google/Caltech experiment simulated a traversable wormhole on a quantum processor, transmitting a qubit through a holographic dual, confirming ER=EPR as an operational transport channel. MATH: Core relations: - ER=EPR duality: Einstein-Rosen bridge ≡ Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement. Wormhole connectivity ↔ entanglement entropy S = -Tr(ρ ln ρ). - Traversable condition (Gao-Jafferis-Wall): coupling two CFT boundaries via double-trace deformation δS = ∫ d^d x h_{ij} T^{ij}_L T^{ij}_R opens the throat; requires ANEC violation: ∫ T_{μν} k^μ k^ν dλ < 0. - Multi-mouth (arXiv:2012.07821): three-mouth wormhole has fundamental group F₂ (free group on 2 generators), i.e., π₁ = ⟨a,b | ∅⟩ — topology of a 3-punctured sphere × time. - SYK model: N Majorana fermions, coupling J, scrambling time t_* ~ (β/2π) ln N. Wormhole signal ∝ N^{-1} at early times, grows as e^{2πt/β} until t_*. - Quantum teleportation fi Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
