Probably/Possibly?

An immersive, visual, aural, interactive composition tracking probability currents of a hydrogen-like atom in superposition.

Probably/Possibly? quantum composition

Probably/Possibly? tracks the probability currents and gradients of a hydrogen-like atom’s electron while in superposition, combining two to three different probability wave functions according to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. A connected string of agents acting as a virtual rubber band tracks the probability currents, displaying dynamically varying visual and aural forms that create the quantum narrative.

The work has been installed at ACM Multimedia 2017 (Computer History Museum, Mountain View), ISEA 2017 (Manizales, Colombia), and the Museum of Exploration and Innovation in Santa Barbara, among other venues.
