Can a wormhole be interpreted as an EPR pair?

TL;DR

The paper critically examines the proposal that wormholes can be interpreted as EPR pairs, emphasizing the need for quantitative evidence of correlation equivalence to justify this interpretation.

Contribution

It highlights the lack of quantitative evidence supporting the wormhole as EPR pair interpretation, challenging previous qualitative claims.

Findings

Existing results lack correlation evidence between wormhole ends and EPR pairs.

The interpretation requires quantitative correlation data, which is currently absent.

The paper questions the validity of the wormhole-EPR analogy without such evidence.

Abstract

Recently, Maldacena and Susskind arXiv:1306.0533 and Jensen and Karch arXiv:1307.1132 argued that a wormhole can be interpreted as an EPR pair. We point out that a convincing justification of such an interpretation would require a quantitative evidence that correlations between two ends of the wormhole are equal to those between the members of the EPR pair. As long as the existing results do not contain such evidence, the interpretation of wormhole as an EPR pair does not seem justified.
