Teleportation Through the Wormhole

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical connection between quantum teleportation and wormholes via the ER=EPR conjecture, suggesting that quantum information can traverse space-time shortcuts under specific conditions, with potential laboratory implications.

Contribution

It proposes a framework linking quantum teleportation to traversable wormholes, providing conditions for their traversal and discussing observable laboratory phenomena.

Findings

Wormholes can be made traversable for quantum information.

Quantum systems retain memory of interactions within the wormhole.

Potential laboratory experiments could observe these phenomena.

Abstract

ER=EPR allows us to think of quantum teleportation as communication of quantum information through space-time wormholes connecting entangled systems. The conditions for teleportation render the wormhole traversable so that a quantum system entering one end of the ERB will, after a suitable time, appear at the other end. Teleportation requires the transfer of classical information outside the horizon, but the classical bit-string carries no information about the teleported system; the teleported system passes through the ERB leaving no trace outside the horizon. In general the teleported system will retain a memory of what it encountered in the wormhole. This phenomenon could be observable in a laboratory equipped with quantum computers.
