"Quantum Entanglement: Unlocking the Possibility of One-Way Time Travel"

Physicists have used quantum entanglement to simulate time travel in a Gedankenexperiment, achieving "effective time travel" in a simulation by exploiting the strange interaction between entangled quantum particles. The researchers put photonic probes through a quantum interaction and used entanglement to tweak the values of the quantum probe, producing a better result even though the operation had already happened. While closed timelike curves (CTCs) are hypothetical and the laws of physics currently do not allow for them to exist, the study provides a new way of exploring quantum mechanics and the behavior of quantum particles.
