I co-authored a paper that was presented at the 2nd symposium mentioned in this article, and I’ve read the textbook mentioned in the article, happy to try to answer any questions

The paper we wrote isn’t on airxiv yet but can be read here: https://github.com/sporkl/superposition-rhythms/blob/main/is...

How close to absolute zero does the audience need to be to hear the music?

[sporkl]

I couldn’t make in in-person, but from what I heard the audience was pretty cool

Quite cool idea.

Two questions:

Would you say you approach this more from the educational side, or from the artistic one?

What about quantum circuits, and more complex gates (Hammond, ...). Do you think about "playing" a simple quantum circuit, hearing how the quantum state changes as it flows through the gates from start to end?

Thanks! We were originally thinking of approaching things more from the educational side, but it’s kind of a hard point to make without experimental evidence, which we don’t have.

As far as playing a quantum circuit through the end, that’s what our python and max implementations do! Should work with any gate; but because it’s simulation-based, there’s a limit to the number of qubits. We’re also working on a follow-up about sonifying arbitrary hamiltonians.
