Do Androids Dream of Electric Sound? Quantum Computing Redefines Creative Expression

Description

At first glance, the link between quantum mechanics and music may seem distant, more like a theoretical expedition across an abyss. However, a closer look reveals a far more intimate connection. Quantum mechanics, the science of the smallest particles, and the arts, specifically music, intersect in ways that are both complex and profound. Take string theory, for example—a concept in theoretical physics that suggests the fundamental particles of the universe are not point-like but rather one-dimensional vibrating strings that resonate much like the ones struck by a bow during a symphonic performance. The parallels between science and sound run deep.

Enter Eduardo Miranda, a classically trained composer and professor at Plymouth University, who is eradicating the boundaries between quantum technology and music with his latest album, Qubism.
