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. \[Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson\].
