Introduction to Quantum Computing and Art

Arianna Crippa (IT), Yahui Chai (CN), Omar Costa Hamido (PT), Paulo Itaborai (BR), Karl Jansen (DE), Heike Riel (DE)

Introduction to Quantum Computing and Art covers scientific and computational details of the implementations of quantum computing algorithms for music and art. This serves as a companion to the Quantum Computers & Art Deep Space presentation, and quantum computer music event. It dives deeper into the technical aspects of using quantum computing in Art, with demos and programming examples. The QAC Toolkit (quantum-computing aided composition) shows how quantum circuits can be integrated into creative programming environments.

    QC-PAINT

    QC-PAINT is a collective composed of both artist-researchers and physicists with the common interest of exploring Art and Science with quantum computing. Their work emerges from the intersection of physics, quantum computer science, music, interactive installation, and traditional oil painting. QC-PAINT members are Arianna Crippa (IT physicist, painter) Yahui Chai (CN physicist) Omar Costa Hamido / OCH (PT artist, technologist) Paulo Itaborai (BR physicist, artist) Karl Jansen (DE physicist).
