- Can you win a game of quantum foosball- using a giant electron instead of a ball? Explore how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage.
--
After a long day working on the particle accelerator, you and your friends head to the arcade to unwind. The lights go out for a second, and when they come back, there before you gleams a foosball table. Always game, you insert your coins. And quantum foosball begins- instead of a ball, you’ll be playing with a giant electron. Matteo Fadel shows how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage.

I sat here for nearly 4 minutes going "this sure is a lot more elaborate than most of the riddles on this channel..."
Lol
Me: you think!
Quantum Scientist: To easy!
Yup. Just like with their other ones I was trying to think of ways to turn it into a fantasy themed puzzle to use for Pathfinder games.

It’s not a riddle
Not only has Ted Ed ramped up the riddle difficulty, but they're no longer showing the solutions at the end... This is hard mode.
hahaha
It's not that hard. Spin the levers as often as possible with just enough energy to get the electron to the next level.
It should be good enough against anyone without a Nobel prize in Quantum Foosball.
its perfect example of Quantum physics. when they have given the answer. and also they have not given the answer

This reminds me of the old 3-D Chess Tables with multiple levels.
I'm afraid that's not my goal.
What about Quantum entanglement where when you score the one goal, your opponent has also simultaneously scored as well?
My friend here Justin, he's already taken, and he's cracked at Quantum Foosball my guy.
I love how ted-ed always teaches me new things like today I learned I have been saying Schrödinger as Schrodinger instead of Schrudinger
I've played mini foosball, actual foosball, and human foosball.

I was just about to play this game with my friends and needed some tips! Thanks!
I can't believe Ted-Ed explained Quantum Mechanics better than my professors for free and in a quarter of the time😭
It feels so good knowing that this channel is still alive unlike other animation ed channels ♥
If only I had access to this video in my High school days.. had hard time with Physics lessons.
Very useful..
3:10 is me throughout the entire video
Man this has been amazing in making quantum physics easier to understand

Thankyou for gaining us knowledge. You really work hard for make one video. Once again thank you a lot...❤️

Why did they format this thought experiment as one of their riddles? Are they going to do the "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” as a riddle?
It's simple to draw the match. Just have a positron entangled with the electron and pair them with both goal posts. So each time they score one goal you too score by quantum entanglement.
Maybe many years in the future we might be able to actually play this once we have a better understanding of quantum physics
3 Gods riddle : I'm the hardest riddle in existence
Quantum Foosball : Hold my electron
Yes, I sat there too for 4min & realized predicting the weather pattern is much simpler.
As a former particle physicist, I would love to play quantum foosball with my friends.
However, given that electrons are - for all we know - pointlike, a giant electron makes no sense; unless you mean an "electron" with the mass of a few grams, in which case the quantum uncertainty on its momentum would still be the same, but the uncertainty on its velocity (roughly equal to momentum / mass if we assume non-relativistic speed) would be so small that quantum effects would be negligible.
So, A for the idea, D- on how it was developed.
As a high-school student who learnt about the Uncertainty Principle just this year, this is exactly what I was thinking!
An electron which has the mass of a real foosball is so big that it will behave like a real foosball.
(With respect to quantum uncertainty)
You most probably won't see it in super-positions and quantum-tunneling and all that. At the scale of macroscopic things, one just cannot observe quantum effects that much.
The idea was nice, but the details just kept getting on my nerve.
Love The Concepts Of Quantum Physics Very Much!! Thanks For The Good Videos!! Love it!
What a great video! Loved the analogy
I need to watch this again... a couple of times.
When the lights go out, the foosball table is there and not there at the same time🤯
(until the lights turn on)
This is amazing .
What a fun topic to give us
I came here only for his voice. Its so satisfying and Im totally in love with the voice.
That was an absolute joy to watch

I really do appreciate these videos.
This is a great way to explain superpositioning, the double slit experiment also shows how particles behave as waves through the interference pattern. If you solve this riddle whatever you do, don't observe the results.
Ahh the good ol' Quantum Zeno Maneuver, I remember pulling that trick out of my pocket in the Great Quantum Foosball Tournament of 09. Sure came in handy, study up kids.
There will be only three types of people invincible at this sport:
Those who are pure genius
Those are pure lucky
Those who never heard of it
TED always brings great content
Ok so I have a thought but I don't know if it's right or wrong.
The play is that If i close my eyes while hitting the electron there would be a 50-50 chance that the electron would present at the place where I am hitting so 50-50 chance of hitting or not hitting electron.
This video alone covered half of my physics syllabus
Will we get a part 2 or was that it?
Sorry for leaving out the details, I wanted to keep things basic.
Wena cabros de TED-Ed, saludos desde Chile, más videos como éste por favor
Just asking, if the ball was indeed a "gaint" electron meaning it has mass in the range of common macroscopic objects, the uncertainty in position as well as velocity would be negligible. In that case, the entire phenomena related to electrons would not apply, including its wave nature as directed by de Bröglie hypothesis
Well, I am going to pretend that I understanded everything.
Make your kickers out of excited capacitors. Ionized particles might vibrate enough from constant charging and falling to kick quantum particles without moving. As a bonus you won’t need lights to play at night
No you probably wouldn’t be able to play for long in zero gravity
Which app or application you used to make videos like this tell me also please??
The guy in the overalls is dummy thicc
I want to disagree but your right
Great video 👍
Yay! My favorite team probably scored!
3:14 I knew I got this physics degree for a reason!
Hoping to see a video about quantum chess next
What if I just kept firing *beams of photons* at the electrons with a *giant laser?* That wouldn't be against the rules, would it? Or I could just cool my preferred field of the foosball table to near *absolute zero* and turn my opponent's field on the board into a *superconductor* so that those electrons would just phase through the goal? Pretty much an *outstanding move.*
holy cow this is the earliest ill ever be for anything!!
Schrondiger's cat! That's one tough game.
Mamta Baranwal, mostly for the cats! Wait, what cats?...
I had the bell on and I can say they change the title.
Original title:
Can you win a game of quantum foosball? By Matteo fadel
Oh and btw, the ball can also quantum tunnel away from the board. That got me cracking, as if it's not bad enough that it's propagating as a wave
Wait JJ Thompson, the discoverer of the electron really said may the electron never be any use to any body? The particle we've based our whole world on..
So are the football 'figurines' implied protons that repel the electron ball?
TED-ED: How long do you want their arms to be?
Animator: Yes
4:32 can someone explain me how can i simultaneously turn and not turn the rods
Ted Ed better make a video about shifting realities
I thought this was going to be a riddle! :o
The uncertainty principle does not apply on macroscopic things, and neither does the duality wave particle.
I agree. If the electron was as big as shown in the video, it will not have many of the interesting properties that a small electron would have.
Last time I was this early I was in a superposition
3:20 Did he just flip me off?
I can't even easily win a game of Foosball🤣
Forget Quantum!
Finally, a practical use for my Quantum Physics Degree
I wish they started uploading things on Art
If we can't know the position and velocity of a particle, how can we know the superposition?
That's a good question. It's indeed impossible to measure the quantum state of a single electron. It's why the video says that you have to "imagine" the wave-function: you can't actually see it as it propagates. You can predict what the wave-function is going to be according to the laws of quantum mechanics. *Or* you can make an experiment where you set up the foosball table and the electron in a certain way and then make a measurement, and repeat this many times (always with the same initial conditions) and then you can measure the probability distributions. Physicists call this "an ensemble of identically prepared systems". You can only really measure the state (the wave-function) of the ensemble. The state of a *single* system is not observable.
One of my plans was to make a videogame pinball based on quantum physics. But I don't understand, if I kick the ball, I know very certainly, that it is at the kicker, so the momentum becomes uncertain, what happens next? It has to mean, that soon it can be anywhere?
Yes, once the wave-function becomes localized somewhere it starts propagating faster.
Me seeing this video knowing I can't win and will never be in a situation like this...
Please start teaching physics.🙏🙏..I didn't know any on those words you used but now I know a bit....in your video I am learning more that my online class....😂
