Consider the babbling brook
How can we leverage this to make music?
What does a babbling brook look like?
How can we affect the flow of the brook?
The Hilbert space is the babbling brook
How can we leverage a Hilbert space to make music?
How does placing rocks (gates) affect the music?
How can we respectfully collaborate with a Hilbert space?

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

How can we respectfully collaborate with a Hilbert space?
Leveraging one of many ways to express a quantum state musically, place a minimal number of gates on a circuit to manipulate its statevector.
Introducing the Quantum Music Playground
Instructions / Tutorial: qisk.it/qmp
- Playground for composing music using quantum states.
- Implemented as a Max for Live device in Ableton Live 11, and includes a MicroQiskit quantum simulator.
- Free, open source, Apache 2.0
We'll use an Ableton Push 2 like real DJs
Brian, Hilbert and I will create 3 songs:
- A friendly collaboration with Hilbert
- Happens to be a 17th century flashback
- A heavy-handed collaboration with Hilbert
- EDM inspired Quantum Deep House
- Composing around a quantum operation
- QFTease
Collaborating with a Hilbert Space
QMP example inspired by music of Jean-Michel Jarre
Example clip: Four on the floor kick (bass) drum
Each step in the sequence on the right is a sixteenth note. Sound is produced when the measurement probability of a basis state is significant.
Example clip: Expressing pitch (or instrument) with phase
Each step in the sequence on the right is a sixteenth note. Sound is produced when the measurement probability of a basis state is significant.
Example from QMP Tutorial of expressing Canon in D
EDM Composition by Hasan Khalid of Algorism Music
Composed using Quantum Music Playground
Collaborating musically with a Hilbert space
In Hilbert space, no one can hear you scream. - Yakir Aharonov
