Quantum Jungle is an interactive art installation that playfully visualizes quantum physics concepts on a large wall filled with hundreds of novel touch-sensitive metal springs and thousands of LEDs. It aims to engage a broad audience in state-of-the-art scientific research. Quantum Jungle makes the first contact with quantum physics as fun and playful as possible, using the classic analogy of Schrödinger's Cat as a hook into a deeper understanding of the science, while also touching more complex topics such as superposition, wave-particle duality, and interference for the interested enthusiasts.
