Uncover Quantum Soundscapes: Experience the Sonic Potential of the Schrödinger Equation
Play with Quantum Mechanics
Take advantage of the simulation’s motion characteristics to create large and evolving sounds. Play big chords or focus on the melody – QSynthi has you covered.
Sculpt the sound you want
QSynthi brings the power of quantum physics to your sound design process. By translating a quantum simulation into dynamic and evolving sounds, it opens up a new world of possibilities for music production. This innovative instrument provides real-time, adaptive tones, enabling a unique exploration of the sonic possibilities inherent in the fascinating world of quantum phenomena.
Simulate real life phenomena
QSynthi lets you animate real-life phenomena through sound, offering a unique and interactive way to understand complex systems. Explore, tweak and play – it’s quantum physics, but with a melodic twist.
Harmonic Oscillator
This video showcases a harmonic oscillator, its wave moving within a quadratic potential, closely mirroring the expected behavior.
Tunnel Effect
This video demonstrates the tunnel effect, a typical quantum phenomenon not found in classical physics, as particles seemingly pass through barriers.
