Scrambled but not lost :)

This "wonderful" pix relates, in indirect fashion, to Quantum Mechanics and the "art" of observation and to Jonathan Wheeler's It from Bit as information is never lost, it's scrambled and, with effort, the data can be restored. 

In dynamics with fast entanglement generation, quantum observables generally become insensitive to the details of the underlying dynamics at long times due to the effects of scrambling. In experimental systems, repeated time-reversal protocols have been successfully implemented to restore sensitivities of quantum observables.4 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10191

The Willow findings are the first physical evidence that
Johnathan Wheeler’s "It from Bit" is the primary operating system of the vacuum.

The fact of observation destroying the quantum state of superposition, thus causing collapse/decoherence, is well known. To prevent that, Willow uses constant, non-destructive observation to correct errors by "reversing" time to find the scrambled data, thus proving information is never lost; it’s just scrambled.   

 

The Multiverse beckons. Hartmut Neven (Google) suggests Willow’s speed validates parallel universes as the quantum foam is conjectured to consist of worm holes winking in and out of existence and that the notion of us residing in a black hole, which is gaining credence, points to the fact the multiverse is indeed real.   

The informational "Bit" of the error-correction circuit is what actually creates the physical  stability of the qubit in Willow.

As stated before.

Johnathan Wheeler's insightful notion of existence being an information construct (It from Bit) makes sense as the photon, (boson), the force carrier of the electromagnetic, becomes digital by transitioning from an analog wave into discrete energy packets (quanta) when absorbed by leptons (the electron), a radical solution to the black body problem described in detail by Max Planck in 1900, thus introducing Quantum Mechanics to the world.  Prior to absorption,  photons, aka light, exist as analog waves, something readily seen by Thomas Young's brilliant 1801 double slit experiment.

Photons or matter (like electrons) produce an interference pattern when two slits are used.
