Quantum Jigsaw - Double Slit Experiment

Perfect nerdy gift for your friend who loves physics

If you have someone (or are someone) who totally geeks out about physics, or quantum mechanics, or quirky jigsaws, you absolutely need this model…

The model comes in the form of three print profiles. You need all three. Read on for more details.

This is a set of 8 jigsaw puzzles, which (when solved) show an accurate simulation of a quantum particle passing through a double slit. Each jigsaw puzzle is 72 pieces, so that's a total of 576 pieces if you allow those intrusive thoughts to speak loudly enough, saying “mix up all the pieces…. mix up all the pieces…. mix them all up!!”

I've uploaded three print profiles for it:

• Print Profile 1: Frames 1 to 4 of the jigsaw puzzle - a total of 72 x 4 = 288 pieces, showing the particle approach the double slit and experience a slow motion crash into the wall dividing the two halves of the puzzle.
• Print Profile 2: Frames 5 to 8 of the jigsaw puzzle - another 288 pieces, showing the wave function of the particle oscillate and resonate, and finally split into two halves, the right hand portion coalescing into the famous interference pattern we (well, physics nerds at least) know and love. 
• Print Profile 3: Display cases for the solved puzzles, decorated with relevant physics formulae. 

The puzzle piece profiles have 8 print plates each. Each pair of plates (1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7&8) have the jigsaw pieces for one frame of the animation. 

Note: ensure good plate adhesion. Without good bed adhesion, you might find some pieces bend up slightly. Then the puzzle will not fit together well, and you might have to do surgery on the model to re-print some dodgy pieces. Clean your print plate and consider raising the bed temperature if you live in a cold area.
