Anisotropic Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

This piece is simultaneously a physical representation of data, as well as an exploration of the extent and limitations of human knowledge. Quantum Mechanics (QM) the branch of physics that describes how particles act at very small scales, and is a fundamental part of our best understanding of how the Universe works. QM the most successful theory in Human history, having successfully passed, with an incredible degree of precision, every experimental test. Without it, we would not have laptops, smartphones, MRI machines, microprocessors, or lasers. Most properties of materials, like electrical conductivity or magnetism, are a direct result of QM, and some experimental values have been determined to uncertainty of a few parts per trillion. But amazingly, we can never predict for certain where even a single particle will be, now or in the future. According to QM, particles do not have definite positions, but rather are described by a wavefunction, that assigns a complex number to every po
