Two thin sheets with honeycomb patterns were stacked and slightly rotated, creating a new pattern — a moiré, like the shimmer of silk. The electrons in the experiment behaved similarly: they arranged themselves into two layers, with one layer rotated exactly 30 degrees relative to the other.

The quantum many-body world is a jazz ensemble, where each electron improvises, continuously listening to all the others, and the overall wave function is born from this tense dialogue.
