TL;DR
Hyper-dimensionality in MWI
Forgive my poor lingo. As my bio states, I only have a complete degree in HS.

Is it possible to quantum tunnel across possible worlds?

If so, is there a hyper-dimensional plane where this would be made possible?

And if so, how would you conceptualize or describe it?

Information breakage should not be an issue if in a 4D-plane they such system would both occupy?

I should be more specific and state that this all hypothetically may occur in the MWI...

No.
When people use the word “world” in talking about quantum mechanics and the MWI, they mean something altogether different from what the word means in ordinary English usage.

Can you tell me that is a qubit is working on a quantum task, all qubits in other worlds respectively are also doing the same task?

That's not how quantum computers work so that question (which appears unrelated to your original question) has no sensible answer.
 
The question in the original post of this thread has been answered so this thread is closed.

@TunnelingthuWorlds, your bio says that you are currently an undergrad, so you may be taking a course in quantum mechanics in the next year or so. When you do, you'll have a much better sense of what QM and the MWI really are. Sadly, most of what you'll read outside of textbooks and the professional literature is oversimplified to the point of being misleading.

If you don't want to wait, Giancarlo Ghirardi's book "Sneaking a look at God's cards" is a good high-school level way of approaching QM. It oversimplifies, but much less then any of th popularizations you'll find out there.
