Quantum Entanglement and Negative Energy in Lab-Built Traversable Wormholes — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Traversable wormhole construction in the lab relies on quantum entanglement and negative energy, with multi-mouth generalizations tied to free group topology (F₂). MATH: - Key formalism: ER=EPR (entanglement ↔ wormhole geometry); traversability requires negative energy density (e.g., Casimir effect or quantum teleportation protocols). - Multi-mouth wormholes: fundamental group π₁ = F₂ (free group on two generators) for 3 mouths; general construction in 4D spacetime with N mouths yields π₁ = F_{N-1}. - Holographic mapping: SYK model (Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev) — a 0+1D quantum mechanical model with N Majorana fermions, coupling J_{ijkl}; emergent AdS₂ geometry with boundary time reparameterization symmetry. - Teleportation protocol: uses a pair of entangled black holes (two-sided), with a coupling term g∫dt O_L(t) O_R(-t) — the sign and magnitude of g control traversability (positive g → wormhole opens). - No explicit golden-ratio constants appear in these sources; the geom Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
