Quantum computing technology is developing at a fast pace. The impact of quantum computing on the music industry is inevitable. This paper maps the emerging field of Quantum Computer Music. Quantum Computer Music investigates, and develops applications and methods to process music using quantum computing technology. The paper begins by contextualising the field. Then, it discusses significant examples of various approaches developed to date to leverage quantum computing to learn, process and generate music. The methods discussed range from rendering music using data from physical quantum mechanical systems and quantum mechanical simulations to computational quantum algorithms to generate music, including quantum AI. The ambition to develop techniques to encode audio quantumly for making sound synthesisers and audio signal processing systems is also discussed.

“…One should also bear in mind that the complete process was based on the use of experimental results and theoretical formulas, without any real-time interaction of acoustic and quantum systems. One of the main goals for the further development of Quantum Music project will be to connect a hybrid piano with experimental equipment in real time (Lončar 2018;Lončar and Pavlović 2018). 3 This would mean that a direct connection with the laboratory equipment is established by means of mechanisms incorporated into the acoustic pianos, and that the audio signals generated in the piano directly modulate the laser beam by which the excitation of the BEC is performed.…”

Synthesis and analysis of sounds developed from the Bose-Einstein condensate: Theory and experimental results

2018

Two seemingly incompatible worlds of quantum physics and acoustics have their meeting point in experiments with the Bose-Einstein Condensate. From the very beginning, the Quantum Music project was based on the idea of converting the acoustic phenomena of quantum physics that appear in experiments into the sound domain accessible to the human ear. The first part of this paper describes the experimental conditions in which these acoustic phenomena occur. The second part of the paper describes the process of sound synthesis which was used to generate final sounds. Sound synthesis was based on the use of two types of basic data: theoretical formulas and the results of experiments with the Bose-Einstein condensate. The process of sound synthesis based on theoretical equations was conducted following the principles of additive synthesis, realized using the Java Script and Max MSP software. The synthesis of sounds based on the results of experiments was done using the MatLab software. The third part or the article deals with the acoustic analysis of the generated sounds, indicating some of the acoustic phenomena that have emerged. Also, we discuss the possible ways of using such sounds in the process of composing and performing contemporary music.

“…This research took the team in several directions simultaneously. The first direction was the technological one, which led to a creation of a new hardware that transformed the classical piano (be it grand or upright piano) into a hybrid analogue-digital instrument (Lončar and Pavlović 2018). This was complemented by a creation of a new software interface for this new hardware, as well as soundbanks synthesized on the basis of quantum equations (Mølmer 2018;Novković et al 2018).…”

“…This was complemented by a creation of a new software interface for this new hardware, as well as soundbanks synthesized on the basis of quantum equations (Mølmer 2018;Novković et al 2018). The next direction was artistic and involved composing new music and rearranging pre-existing music for the new hybrid instrument (Lončar and Pavlović 2018;Helweg 2018). Finally, the project involved creating an audio-visual narrative that would accompany concert performances of these newly composed or newly-rearranged quantum music pieces, in order to present and explain to the audiences some phenomena from the quantum world.…”

Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) devoted a great deal of time and consideration to the relationship between the composer's invention and performance media, in particular those related to the application of the latest technological breakthroughs and new instruments. Boulez's famous essay "Technology and the Composer" (1977/1986) proclaims his desire to widen the range of expressive means of art music by conquering new media. Boulez's "vintage" insights are here juxtaposed with a contemporary Quantum Music project (2015-2018), and with one particular piece written within this project: Super Position (Many Worlds) by Kim Helweg (2017), commissioned by the Institute of Musicology SASA and supported by the Danish Arts Foundation (Statens Kunstfond). At least two lines * This article was written for the project Quantum Music, co-financed by the EACEA within the programme Creative Europe (559695-CREA-1-2015-1-RS-CULT-COOP1). We have also received support from the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Serbia. Some parts of the research were conducted within the project Identities of Serbian Music Within Local and Global Contexts Traditions, changes, challenges (No 177004) financed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. Jelena Janković-Beguš expresses her gratitude to Prof. Vesna Mikić for her valuable insights during the early stages of the conception of this paper. The piece Super Position (Many Worlds) by Kim Helweg (2017) was comissioned by the Institute of Musicology SASA and supported with a grant awarded by The Danish National Arts Foundation (Statens Kunstfond
