In 2011, D - Wave published evidence that its qubits were indeed tunnelling, but to count as a quantum computer, capable of realising the theoretical speed gains that come with it, the qubits must also be entangled —
linked by quantum mechanics, no matter how far apart they are in space.

Similarly, there is also a constant dynamic towards unifcation, describing the material universe
by single rather than disparate laws, such as the quest to
link general relativity / gravitation with
quantum mechanics in a «Theory of Everything».
Since wormholes are contortions of spacetime geometry — described
by Einstein's gravitational equations — identifying them with
quantum entanglement would forge a
link between gravity and
quantum mechanics.
The research, submitted to the journal Nature for publication, also provides direct evidence of ripples in the structure of space - time made
by gravitational waves, and it affirms the often tense
link between
quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
