Just the other day I was reading an article about the butterfly effect in quantum mechanics and how the butterfly effect has been proven not to exist

i know of it from chaos theory. how was the idea adapted to quantum physics?

In 2020, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory experimentally proved that the “butterfly effect” does not exist in quantum mechanics.
In order to simulate the “butterfly effect” and find out whether it exists, scientists used a quantum computer. They sent to the “past” information - quantum bits or qubits, and then severely damaged one of them. That is, they actually repeated what the hero of Ray Bradbury's famous story did by stepping on a butterfly.
However, further in the experiment, everything went quite different from the story. When the cubes were returned to the “present”, they appeared undamaged - as if reality had self-recovered. Does this make the “butterfly effect” not work?
