Quantum Oscillographs

For the installation Quantum Oscillographs, artist and curator Melanie King worked together with JRC scientist Constantin Coutsomitros who passed electronic pulses through his "quantum walks" experiment. This experiment involved a laser beam which is pointed at a crystal which then splits the beam into two entangled beams. The two Quantum Oscillographs that Melanie presented at Resonances III Festival visually represent the two entangled beams. Visually, the oscillographs should look exactly the same, but observers should detect the differences.
