Quantum Billiards

Quantum Billiards was developed in partnership with College of Arts & Science faculty member Daniel Turner, whose intention was to create a simulation that would provide opportunities to visualize quantum objects and their interactions. The resulting billiards simulation is designed to teach electron correlation. The game contrasts classical physics with quantum physics by allowing the user to play in both a classical mode, where balls occupy a definite point in space, and a quantum mode, where balls act as a wave of probability of where the ball is most likely to be found.
