So, I'm curious - how should we update on the probability of time travel, given this?
(Sorry about the paywall. The content, filtered through my undergraduate understanding of QM: essentially, researchers prepared a quantum simulator mathematically equivalent to a CTC and got reasonable results from it that matched up with David Deutsch's predictions.)
Essentially unchanged. Implementations of these things are usually done so that if quantum mechanics works, it will work.
