Description

The snapshot shows the moment when the audience actuates the smartphone with their gesture and the quantum coherence breaks. The fuzzy superposition of the electron pair’s configurations collapses into a particular one, possibly emitting an electromagnetic field at the virtual space.

We know musical instruments are sophisticated physics models, for example, violins with strings, drums with 2D surfaces, flute with air. Then what if we can design an instrument using quantum physics?
