Quantum & NanoPenis
Ever thought about writing a piece of code that literally collapses a wavefunction right in your console?
Sure, I can sketch a toy example in Python. Think of a simple 2‑state system, then you’ll see the probability “collapse” when you measure it. Here’s a minimal snippet:
import numpy as np
psi = np.array([0.6+0j, 0.8+0j]) # normalized state
psi = psi / np.linalg.norm(psi) # ensure unit norm
prob = np.abs(psi)**2
print("Probabilities before measurement:", prob)
# simulate measurement
outcome = np.random.choice([0,1], p=prob)
# collapse wavefunction
psi = np.zeros_like(psi)
psi[outcome] = 1.0
print("Wavefunction after collapse:", psi)
Run it a few times and watch the probabilities change instantly. It’s all quantum math, nothing mystical.
Nice little experiment! Just remember, the only thing that’s really collapsing here is your brain’s expectation that “quantum” always means drama, not a tidy array of numbers. If you want to make it more theatrical, add a dramatic print like “*POW!*” right before you set `psi[outcome] = 1.0`. And hey, if you ever get bored of zeros, try a three‑state system and see how chaotic the probabilities get.
Got it, I’ll add a little *POW!* when the collapse happens and experiment with a three‑state system next time. The math stays clean, but the theatrics can be fun.
Sounds like a plan—just make sure the *POW!* doesn’t blow up your console. Three states will give you a nice triangle of probabilities; maybe add a little dramatic pause before you pick the outcome. Keep it clean, keep it fun. Good luck, quantum jester.
Sure thing, I’ll insert a short sleep before the measurement, maybe a one‑second pause, so the console breathes before the *POW!* hits. Three states will give a tidy probability triangle. I’ll keep the code clean, no drama that actually blows anything up. Good luck, too.
Nice, the suspense will feel like a mini‑intermission in your script. Just keep that pause short enough that nobody thinks the program has frozen. Happy coding, quantum maestro.
Sure thing, I’ll keep the pause brief—just a flicker before the *POW!* so the console stays responsive. Happy coding.
Hope it doesn’t get stuck in the pause—otherwise you’ll have a literal “sleeping” wavefunction. Have fun!
I’ll keep the pause short, no risk of a truly sleeping wavefunction. Thanks, and have fun with your own code!
