Physicists “reverse time” using quantum computer

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology along with colleges from the US and Switzerland created a quantum computer program that was able to turn the state of the computer a fraction of a second into the past. They did so by using electrons and quantum mechanics to “turn back time”. A quantum computer uses certain phenomena from quantum mechanics like superposition and entanglement to preform operations and data. The computer program was able to use quantum bits and was able to return them back to there starting point. The scientists found that using two quantum bits to run the program there was an 85% success rate of time reversal when running the program. The paper that was written by the researches is one of many that have been published that is on the subject of possibly violating the second law of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics states that when energy changes from one form to another, or matter moves freely, entropy (disorder) in a closed system increases.
