Quantum Chaos.

Inspired by his own scientific research, Eric J. Heller's digital abstract art evokes a world we cannot see--the quantum realm of electrons, atoms, and molecules. "I want the viewer to sense that the quantum world is mysterious and fascinating, a place very different from what we see with the unaided senses," says Heller, a member of the physics and chemistry faculties at Harvard University. "The computer provides a window into this strange, often chaotic realm, where particles are so small that they can only be described, and not seen directly."

Heller's scientific research involves the theoretical investigation of wave behavior, chaos and quantum mechanics, and collision theory. He wrote several computer algorithms ...
