A 3x3 grid of images showcasing a pink circular object with a central pattern of overlapping triangles, squares, and purple and black shapes. The patterns vary across the grid due to different light effects created by crossed polarizers. The pink frame encases the structure, and the central visuals shift in appearance, illustrating light and polarization interactions.

For the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, scientists and students can help with festivities.
