Bosonic Echoes is an interactive light and sound installation that explores the creative potential of boson sampling in generative music. Boson sampling is a type of quantum computation using photons that addresses a specific problem believed to be infeasible for classical computers. The installation visualizes and remotely interfaces a photonic processor located in a quantum optics lab in Berlin. Turning the dials in Linz affects the processor, the live measurement data, and the sound generated.
