Discover EigenMode’s quantum-inspired illustrations, where physics meets design.
Step into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics with this eye-catching design inspired by quantum tunneling. The scene shows a rollercoaster where a sign challenges: “Face the wall: tunnel through or be lost in reflection.” It invites electrons to attempt passing through a solid stone barrier.
Though highly unlikely, quantum physics tells us electrons have a finite probability of tunneling through barriers that would otherwise block them. This design captures that subtle but extraordinary phenomenon, turning complex science into a fun and visually striking metaphor.
Perfect for physics lovers and anyone fascinated by the strange and beautiful quirks of the quantum realm. Wear it proudly and spark conversations about the surprising behavior of particles at the smallest scales!

Imagine a bunch of cool electrons chilling on a long plank, perfectly lined up to form the famous Dirac cone — the quantum playground for exotic phenomena. Suddenly, energetic photons come crashing in, knocking and ejecting the electrons right off their spot. This is the photoelectric effect : light hitting matter and sending electrons soaring into the vacuum!
The photoelectric effect, first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, transformed our understanding of light by revealing it behaves as discrete packets of energy called photons — a breakthrough that earned him the Nobel Prize and laid the groundwork for quantum physics.
Through this original illustration, you can see a spectrum in k-space where one axis tracks an in-plane direction of electrons’ momentum across the surface, and the other displays their energy levels.
