From the New York Times, Nov. 30, 2022: Yesterday, a science team led by Cal Tech announced they had simulated a pair of black holes in a quantum computer and sent a message between them through a shortcut in space-time called a wormhole. Fermilab’s Joe Lykken co-authored the paper published in Nature yesterday and provides details on what the team uncovered.

The Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department hosted its first Quantum Computing Internship for Physics Undergraduates program this summer. Students from a range of diverse backgrounds learned about the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.
From Wonderful Engineering, September 8, 2021: When it comes to traveling at the speed of light, Don Lincoln’s video, “How to travel faster than light”, explains how light travels at different speeds in different mediums.
The quantum eraser experiment is one of the weirdest phenomena that has ever been observed. It seems that quantum mechanics mixes past and future together. In this video, Fermilab’s Don Lincoln takes you through this quantum conundrum.
Things get weird at the smallest scales — just take a look at the way neutrinos behave as they travel. In this episode, we’ll explore the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation through something a bit easier to grasp: beach balls. Join neutrino physicist Kirsty Duffy for some delightful quantum chaos.
