  • From the 19th century onwards, acid-etching techniques started to be used by numerous stained-glass artists and studios throughout Britain and Ireland. Dublin-born Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was the leading proponent of the hydrofluoric acid-etching technique, which he mastered in an exceptionally personal and imaginative manner.

The article from Physics World discusses Oksana Kondratyeva's unique stained glass art project inspired by a quantum computer. Titled "Quantum Rose," this artwork was created for the 2023 Art of Science exhibition at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Kondratyeva, who has a background in physics, was inspired by the aesthetic and conceptual elements of quantum computing, particularly the IBM Q System One at the University of Toronto. Her piece uses the visual language of stained glass to represent the complex, abstract nature of quantum mechanics, specifically focusing on the idea of entanglement and the beauty of quantum states. The artwork not only serves as a bridge between art and science but also aims to make the esoteric concepts of quantum physics more accessible and visually engaging to the public.
