Chemistry has had one for ages: an entire industry manufacturing and delivering pure substances by the ton. Physics never had an equivalent — humanity always had to source elementary particles, vacuum, and uncertainty straight from the universe itself. We're changing that.

§ Why a Physics Shop

The chemical industry has been supplying reagents and catalysts to order for over a century. A physical equivalent was missing — until now. Physikladen supplies teaching collections, laboratories, and curious individuals with essential physics equipment: from elementary particles to spotlessly pure vacuum. All items comply with the laws of nature of our universe — warranty excludes parallel universes.

Catalog

8 plates — warehouse in Zurich, uncertainty principle permitting

Plate 01 — MD‑077

Maxwell's Demon

Neatly sorts fast and slow molecules into two chambers — with zero work input. Violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics just a little.

Vacuum, 1 Litre

Carefully emptied of everything. Delivered in a sealed can — please open only when ready to use, or the universe will rush back in.

Schrödinger's Cat

Delivered as a sealed box. State uncertain until opened — we accept no liability for the outcome.

Entangled Particle Pairs

Two particles, one fate. Measure here, and the other reacts instantly there — distance doesn't matter, and neither does the speed of light.

Shipping Options

Standard Shipping

3–5 business days. Classic transport, well below c.

Tunneling Express

Sometimes arrives before you even send it. Success probability < 1%, but free if it works.

Entropy Shipping

Package guaranteed to arrive — in the most disordered state possible. Returns not possible (2nd law of thermodynamics).
