> “There’s the physical black hole and then there’s the simulated one in the quantum computer, and there can be a replica wormhole connecting those,” said Douglas Stanford, a theoretical physicist at Stanford and a member of the West Coast team. This idea is an example of a proposal by Maldacena and Leonard Susskind of Stanford in 2013 that quantum entanglement can be thought of as a wormhole. The wormhole, in turn, provides a secret tunnel through which information can escape the interior. What is this saying? Say we have a method for producing microscopic black holes, and a quantum computer capable of simulating them. What's the experiment we can do to show that this happens? We hit the real thing with a photon and it shows up in the simulation?
