Quantum Wormholes: From ER=EPR Theory to Lab Reality — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Traversable wormhole construction in the lab is now a theoretical and (on quantum processors) experimental program, anchored in ER=EPR entanglement and holographic duality — not a classical spacetime tunnel. | MATH: Key structures: (1) **AdS/CFT correspondence** — bulk gravity in \(AdSd+1\) dual to conformal field theory on boundary; (2) **ER=EPR** — Einstein-Rosen bridge (maximally extended Schwarzschild) equivalent to maximally entangled pair; (3) **Negative energy injection** (e.g., via coupling two CFTs with \(∫ dt \, h(t) O_L(t) O_R(t)\)) to make wormhole traversable — the Gao-Jafferis-Wall mechanism; (4) **Multi-mouth case** (arXiv:2012.07821): fundamental group \(F_2\) (free group on two generators) for three mouths — topology encoded in non-abelian group structure; (5) **Quantum processor implementation** (Zlokapa et al.) — teleportation via SYK model (Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev), with scrambling time \(~ β log N\) and out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) decayin Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
