A recent article [Nature 612, 51-55 (2022)] claims to observe traversable wormhole dynamics in an experiment. This claim is based upon performing a teleportation protocol using a Hamiltonian that consists of seven Majorana fermions with five fully-commuting terms. The Hamiltonian is generated via a machine-learning procedure designed to replicate the teleportation behavior of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. The authors claim that the learned Hamiltonian reproduces gravitational dynamics of the SYK model and demonstrates gravitational teleportation through an emergent wormhole. We find: (i) in contrast to these claims, the learned Hamiltonian does not exhibit thermalization; (ii) the teleportation signal only resembles the SYK model for operators that were used in the machine-learning training; (iii) the observed perfect size winding is in fact a generic feature of small-size, fully-commuting models, and does not appear to persist in larger-size fully-commuting models or in non-commuting models at equivalent system sizes

  1. Krylov Winding and Emergent Coherence in Operator Growth Dynamics

    quant-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Krylov winding emerges as a generic feature of quantum chaotic systems from the universal operator growth bound, producing size winding when a low-rank Krylov-to-size mapping exists and the chaos bound saturates.

  2. No chaos required: traversable wormhole signals survive 98% coupling deletion

    quant-ph 2026-05 accept novelty 6.0

    The traversable wormhole transmission signal in coupled SYK models persists with less than 1.1% variation after 98% random coupling deletion, showing it is controlled by inter-system coupling alone.

  3. Traversable wormhole with double trace deformations via gravitational shear and sound channels

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Double trace deformations create traversable wormholes in AdS5 black branes via gravitational shear and sound channel perturbations that violate ANEC in the hydrodynamic limit.
