Description

Six quantum circuit experiments performed on ibm_marrakesh (IBM Quantum, 156 qubits, Heron R2 architecture) are reported, designed to test boundary signatures of the ER=EPR conjecture within the AdS₂/JT gravity framework, with the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model as the holographic dual of the black hole horizon. The experiments were executed iteratively: each result raised new questions that directly motivated the next protocol. In order of execution they implement: tripartite entanglement certification via the Mermin operator (|⟨M⟩| = 3.885); a traversable wormhole baseline using a Bell-pair thermofield double (F(g=π/2) = 1.000); black hole evaporation unitarity via the Hayden-Preskill protocol (F_rec = 0.9983, with the decoder reduced to zero two-qubit gates by the compiler); a corrected traversable wormhole using genuine SYK scrambling and exact Majorana coupling (F(g=0) = 0.020, F(g=π/2) = 0.953, GJW gain = 0.933); quantum chaos via out-of-time-order correlators (λ_L = 1.975 ± 0.294, 54.8% of the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford bound); and horizon growth under information absorption consistent with the Bekenstein area law. Total QPU time across all experiments: 7 minutes 2 seconds. All results are consistent with the boundary predictions of the ER=EPR framework. These experiments demonstrate that the relevant CFT information dynamics are reproducible on current NISQ hardware.
