Quantum Magic 8-Ball: Using Photons to Generate Truly Random Answers
Maker David Noel Ng has applied quantum physics to the classic Magic 8-Ball toy, using a photon beam splitter and photomultiplier tubes to generate genuinely random yes/no outcomes. The results drive a software-based Magic 8-Ball that answers questions. The project combines low-level quantum physics, electronic circuitry, and code to demonstrate a real-world application of quantum randomness.
