The Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model is an exactly solvable model of strongly coupled systems. This group (which has a reputation for hype and excitability) performed an SYK calculation n a conventional computer - why? 2+2 would have done the same thing - and then mirrored it on a noisy 9 bit quantum "computer". The results matched so there had to be a wormhole connection! However, a 9 bit QC can be exactly replicated on a classical computer so the "quantum" bit is irrelevant. Two computers are fed roughly the same inputs, and then come up with a similar output. Wow! A worm hole is born.

I encountered this in a general publication - The Times - and the messy opacity of the reporting clicked on my bullshit detector. It hasn't stopped clicking since.
