Quantum mechanics is an admirable creation of the human intellect, a scientific theory that has not only subverted the entire corpus of physics but also profoundly altered our sociocultural environment. A powerful and elegant tool, it still does not fail to surprise for its strangeness to everyday experience. To describe it, we need a new language, new words. That is why quantum mechanics offers us not only a new vision of the world but also a trove of suggestions that are well suited to contaminate literature, theater and philosophy.
