Project
Project Name: Quantum Droplets: Pilot Wave Phenomena
Project Leaders: Luciano Manfredi
Chapter Advisors: David Berube
Project Description: Bouncing droplets can self-propel laterally along the surface of a vibrated fluid bath by virtue of a resonant interaction with their own wave field. Interestingly, the walking droplets exhibit several features reminiscent of quantum particles. In this project, we try to recreate some of the many striking pilot-wave phenomena.
