In this multimedia performance, the audience will experience the result of 5 years of research in Quantum Computer Music, integrating electroacoustic, live coding & visual creation techniques with sonification/visualization of quantum algorithms — including live execution on real quantum hardware available via QuTech’s open-access Quantum Inspire platform. The piece highlights the use of quantum computing as a particular tool within the creative process, seeking a new poetic-technological grammar that articulates this emerging medium.
