The history of quantum physics
Since the publication of my book Als das Licht laufen lernte (When the light learned to walk), I’ve finally had the chance to illustrate my favorite topic in physics again – quantum mechanics! For the Fraunhofer magazine, I created a glowing quantum timeline that shows the various stages in the history of quantum mechanics using reduced icons – including the two quantum revolutions in the 1950s and 1990s. It remains exciting to see what happens next …
