TL;DR Summary

Physicists have used quantum entanglement to simulate time travel in a Gedankenexperiment, achieving "effective time travel" in a simulation by manipulating the values of quantum probes via entanglement. Although closed timelike curves (CTCs) are considered impossible according to the laws of physics, the researchers suggest that entanglement can generate instances that effectively look like time travel. While the simulation had a failure rate of 75%, the team proposes sending a large number of entangled photons and using a filter to ensure the corrected information gets through. The study provides a new way of exploring quantum mechanics and the behavior of quantum particles.
