Seems like this was a simulation on a quantum computer, and that such a simulation is considered equivalent to/interchangeable with doing it in real life???

It is a simulation that is equivalent to a wormhole in a 2D "anti de Sitter" space ... while regular reality is supposed to be a "de Sitter space" (and 4D?). I am not even close to being an expert on this though.

One secret to success was Zlokapa, a waifish orchestra kid who joined Spiropulu’s research group as a Caltech undergrad.

For crissakes why are we still taking swipes at scientists' physical appearances in a science-focused rag like Quanta? This is shameful.
