Abstract: We implement in a reactive programming framework a system mimicking three aspects of quantum mechanics: self-interference, state superposition, and entanglement. The system basically consists in a cellular automaton embedded in a synchronous environment which defines global discrete instants and broadcast events. The implementation shows how a simulation of fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics can be obtained from the synchronous parallel combination of a small number of elementary components.
