English term or phrase: play and display
Bonjour,

Ce n'est probablement pas une expression propre à la physique. C'est certainement une expression courante tirée d'un discours oral que je n'arrive pas à traduire : " I'd say that the quantum world and quantum mechanics is really the play and display of information, the play and display of potentiality, waves of information, waves of potential electron."


Merci pour votre aide.

Explanation:
pun on "pay and display"

but what is meant is "play and dis-play" of information, potentiamity,
potential electrons...

"It's called sometimes the collapse of the wave function...because at the quantum world, everything is in superposition and multiple possibilities. And in the classical world, these multiple possibilities...seem to collapse to particular, definite choices. So, everything is in one particular place. Quantum mechanics is really the play and display of information...the play and display of potentiality...waves of information, waves of potential electron."
