Google Doodle celebrates ‘Quantum World Day’ with Thaumatropia

To celebrate the World Quantum Day, Google will exhibit a taumatropy, an optical device that helps to explain the quantum overlap, one of the basic principles of quantum mechanics on Monday. Illustration appears on the home page of the search engine.

As Mountain View Company explained, the date of viewing the animation was not chosen by chance, because April 14 represents the first three steps of the Planck constant (4,14). Calculation serves to define the relationship between the frequency of energy quantum such as energy and photons.

Already the World Quantum Day is an annual celebration formed with the target of the scientific community. Emphasizing the latest developments of quantum physics, offering the effects on technology. History has gained more relevance by organizing activities to attract and engage the people in recent years.

In addition to Brazil, the world’s quantum day can be seen in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Canada and some other countries. Thaumatropian visible when opening the search engine on desktop and mobile devices – clicking on it, directed to the results of the internet user concept.

What is quantum overlap?

Today’s Google Doodle theme is one of the concepts that make it possible for the quantum of information processing. According to this property, Particles can be found in more than one state at the same timeUnlike we have in daily life, it makes it difficult to see this feature.

For example, a common object like a pencil, which is just one place at a time, is worth thinking about. Quantum particles such as electrons and photons are in many places according to the principle of quantum overlapping, observed or measured.

It is also called overlapping, this phenomenon is the basis of the functioning of quantum computers. Unlike traditional PCs operating with lice (0 or 1), the most advanced models use Quibits with the capacity to represent 0, 1 or both at the same time. Revolution in complex calculations.

Microsoft and IBM are some of the major technologies with investments in the region. Google worked in the segment with the latest version of Willow Chip, in less than five minutes, the border super computer was able to solve a mathematical equation that will spend 10 years to solve.

How does Doodle help to understand the concept?

There are several types of experimental types to explain and facilitate the understanding of quantum overlap, which is not always easy to view as we comment above. Invented by British Doctor Peter Mark Roget in the early nineteenth century, Thaumatropian appears to be one of the alternatives to illustrate the concept.

The toy is created by a disk containing two different images on both sides. That can be quickly rotated, The mechanism causes the brain to overlap both drawings as if it has been combined and created a single image..

If one side has a drawn bird and the other one, the designs will merge when turning the disc and give the impression that it is stuck in the cage. Initially, the system appeared to explain the process of image formation in the brain.

In the Doodle example of Thaumatropius, the rotating records indicate the letters that make up the word “Google”. The animation brings a sharing button that allows you to send it to others interested.
