Slide 1 von 3

Haunted Mirror

We discuss the first important example of a quantum state that can’t be described without the usage of higher quantum dimensions – the spin. Candles and mirror symmetry are guiding us on our journey.

Alice and Bob observe their own mirror image in the chessboard bar. The black and white squares represent zero and one, that is, the digital data we use on a daily basis to create our media reality.

The quantum mirror opens the door to a world beyond the digital world. A single candle and its mirror image represent a qubit. It’s the simplest possible quantum system, a generalization of a bit.
