Physicists reverse time using quantum computer
Phys .Org ^ | 13 Mar 2019

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology teamed up with colleagues from the U.S. and Switzerland and returned the state of a quantum computer a fraction of a second into the past.

"This is one in a series of papers on the possibility of violating the second law of thermodynamics. That law is closely related to the notion of the arrow of time that posits the one-way direction of time from the past to the future,"

It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

Whoa, in a couple days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak...

Woudn’t you need a flux capacitor to do that?

Out of curiosity I did a search for “flux capacitor” and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw this on the O’Rielly Auto Parts page.

A dematerialization circuit isn’t necessary at this stage.

Harbor Freight will have them on sale when they are copied from a working original.

All they had to do was play a country song backwards...(thank you, Rascal Flatts)...
= = = =
I was sittin on a barstool
In a bar-b-q joint in Tennessee
When this old boy walked in
And he sat right down next to me
I could tell he’d been through some hard times
There were tear stains on his old shirt
And he said do you wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards?

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jack back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first and second wives back
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your bling bling bling and your diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the harley
First night in jail with charlie
Sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that’s what you get when you play a country song backwards

So, are they claiming that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics was actually violated by...well...whatever they are doing. Color me skeptical.

“returned the state of a quantum computer a fraction of a second into the past.”

It’s living on borrowed time.

" . . . and returned the state of a quantum computer a fraction of a second into the past."

The past compared to what, and measured by what?

Nope, just need a souped up DeLorean.
