Randomness: A Visual Study


source: Institute for Quantum Computing    2016年12月7日
On November 30, 2016, more than 100,000 people worldwide participated in the BIG Bell Test, providing unpredictable measurements in the form of ones and zeros. Scientists around the world used the data in their Bell tests to perform real-time measurements.
Former Artist in Residence at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) used three different sources of random data, including the data collected by the BBT, to create Randomness: A Visual Study. The resulting visualization, which used nearly 50 000 000 ones and zeros gathered globally, is a unique creation.

Charles W. Clark - Over the Rainbow: The Other World Seen by Animals


source: Institute for Quantum Computing     2016年11月18日
Much of what we understand about the world comes from our eyes, which sense the colours from red to violet that are expressed in the rainbow.
Yet we know that this patch of colours is just a small island in the vast electromagnetic spectrum, which extends from radio waves to gamma rays. Two invisible regions of great importance to us are those just over and just under the rainbow - the infrared and ultraviolet, respectively. These were discovered about 200 years ago in inspired experiments that anyone can understand, originally conducted by Frederick William Herschel and Johann Wilhelm Ritter. Only recently has it come to be understood that a variety of animals live in a visual world totally unfamiliar to us, particularly in the ultraviolet.
The ultraviolet is a realm fundamentally ruled by quantum physics, and the scene of a discovery that laid the foundation of the quantum theory of matter. The birds and the bees seem unaware of this, but they make fruitful use of it every day.
