Yeah, this is how I feel when I read the actual research papers behind these sensational articles.

“Quantum teleportation achieved!”

Hmm, looks like a unitary operator was applied to a tensor product state.

“Virtual particles pop in and out of existence!”

Hmm, looks like a mathematical technique to perturbatively approximate a very large unitary operator.

“Time crystals!!!”

Cool, the unitary operator has some symmetries.

“The cat is dead and alive!”

So the state the unitary operator acts upon can be represented as a mathematically convenient linear combination of two other states. Great?
