reference

this isnt immediately necessary, but might be of use later.

applet

just linking the applet to have available. 
however, this is not really the motion to be working from. is there a way to get the window to the generator you made? 
stressing- absolute simplest movement through the absolute smallest window. from there we can extend physically but anything else will be too complex i think.

Notes from our session

Quantum Life

physically tracking a single wavelength of a quantum particle

Quantum Particles comprise the makeup of the entire Universe; the goal is to illustrate the simplest movement of the smallest known particle in the Universe. What is the absolute smallest window we can look through to illustrate the life of a particle.

input

Data gathered from the motion of a quantum particle in a declared space. Data will illustrate the most basic movement of the particle in the smallest declared space possible.

 processes

Systems used:

Java and MatLab responsible for data and equations

Arduino and Processing will ‘sculpt’ the data

 output

Exploitations include but are not limited to:

Everything in the Universe is comprised of what cannot be seen.

Observations not only disturb what is being measured, but produce what you are measuring. (quantum scale).

Nothings exists until it is actually seen. (quantum scale).

Aspects of output:

Several small quantum systems combining to create a distinctively different macroscopic system will illustrate quantum properties in a visually tangible way. Observation itself should alter the realization of motion; perspective and vantage point can serve to alter the overall perception of the piece.

 

formula

this is the working input-process-output diagram we have been working with. if the window isnt open click 'formula for computer art'

processing

processing

- can you attach a link to the quantum particle generator you made?
