RE: Black Hole Quantum Teleporter
Interesting piece. Here's something to ponder: If information cannot escape a black hole, then what would be the use of this technology beyond demonstrating that it can be done?
As far as I understood the science in this particular case, the information would actually never enter a black hole in practice, they would just create a circuit that behaves like black holes in the sense that it transfers the information effectively quantum teleporting it.
So in theory we could tweak the artificial black hole to behave differently. You may also recall that that Hawking made a bet with another researcher regarding whether or not information can escape from a black. He lost the bet because apparenly information can escape, although it comes out mangled: https://physicsworld.com/a/hawking-loses-black-hole-bet/
I think you are still stuck on the black hole thing. There will be no black holes. Thus, the information will be able to "escape" without any issue.
Yes, I understand that part. I guess the part that I don't get is this:
"Based on their models the researchers assume that a system that will be more than just an attempt to mimic the behavior of black holes will be created. In its behavior, it will be indistinguishable from real black holes."
If it's indistingishible, then it is in essence a black hole, with all that entails, including the fact that no information can escape. The finding by Hawking and Thorne could be a way to get around this limit. I'm sure the researchers have worked out some solution.
