Spinning Projection - Quantum Physics Art Canvas Print

$40.70 CAD

Small canvas print of a small original geometrical pencil drawing.

Size: 8in x 8in x 1.25in (20cm x 20cm x 3.2cm)

The sides of the thick canvas frame show the artwork mirrored and distorted.

No AI has been used: The original piece on paper has been created using pencils, ruler, compass, and watercolors. The distortion effects have been applied manually to the scanned image, using a digital pen.

The texture and the subtle sheen of the canvas add to the artwork. The canvas frame is rather thick compared to its width making the third dimension palpable.

Price excl. tax and shipping costs (will be added on checking out).

About the geometry and the physics:

Spins in quantum mechanics can be related to stereographic projection: The spin is built from an up and a down component. If you visualize it as an arrow pointing in a certain direction, you can project down the point where the spin punctures the sphere.

The image point In the equatorial plane can be interpreted as the ratio of the "amounts" of up and down component (This is not exact terminology.)

Playing with the geometry, half of the inclination angle theta of the original arrow shows up again when looking at the projection in the plane. This factor one half is what a lot of weirdness of spins can be traced back to (like: "You need two full rotations to get back to the original state").
