Chapter i^4
When the laser arrived, it was like Christmas. His eyes lit up while unraveling the extreme protective packaging.
“Is the effect visible to the n***d eye?” asked Ourania.
Yanni blew away some leftover Styrofoam balls. “No, I use the polarized glasses to see the moiré pattern. The math predicts that when the equations align, that particular wavelength will produce a moiré effect when seen through glasses.”
And then he added with a hint of pride, “I came up with that.”
“That’s brilliant, Yanni!” she said. “That way, you don’t need a quantum computer chip to actually test the theory.”
“Correct. It’s part of the reason I managed to keep my funding all this time, because the test was relatively cheap.”
He held the laser like a kid would hold a shiny toy train and ran upstairs to hook it up.
