Classical and quantum physics
Classical to quantum physics. Sequence of computer models showing the progression from classical to quantum physics. At top left, the movement of a classical particle, such as an electron, is shown. In classical physics, the position and trajectory of the particle can be precisely described, along with its energy. In quantum physics, the position and energy cannot be known at the same time. The particle is considered to be spread over a volume (progressively shown towards bottom right), with its position described by probabilities. It will also have wave properties: the colours show the varying phase of the wave. This model was created as an artwork by Professor Eric Heller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fascinating journey from classical to quantum physics, showcasing a sequence of computer models that depict this transition. At the top left, we witness the graceful movement of a classical particle, like an electron, where its position and trajectory can be precisely described along with its energy. However, as we delve into the realm of quantum physics, things take a mesmerizing turn. Intriguingly, in quantum physics, it becomes impossible to simultaneously know both the position and energy of a particle. Instead, this enigmatic particle is believed to exist spread over a volume as depicted progressively towards the bottom right. Its position is now described by probabilities rather than certainties. Moreover, this ethereal entity also exhibits wave properties beautifully illustrated through an array of vibrant colors representing varying phases. It's important to note that this stunning artwork was created by none other than Professor Eric Heller himself – an esteemed physicist who skillfully merges artistry with scientific exploration. Through meticulous simulation and mathematical modeling techniques showcased in this piece, he brings forth not only his expertise but also his artistic flair. This remarkable image serves as a testament to the duality between art and science while shedding light on one of nature's most profound mysteries – bridging classical mechanics with quantum theory. It stands as a symbol for groundbreaking research and theoretical advancements within these fields while captivating viewers with its abstract beauty and thought-provoking concepts.
