A quantum computer deals with information encoded as quantum bits – or qubits. The qubit is to a quantum computer what a bit is to a digital one: it is a basic unit of information. In hardware, qubits live in the subatomic world. They are subject to the laws of quantum mechanics. Thus, qubits process information in fundamentally different and potentially more powerful ways than digital bits. Quantum computing is bound to open new and exciting opportunities for creative practices.
Following a day of discussions, Eduardo Reck Miranda will return to the stage for a concert of Quantum Computer Music showcasing pioneering systems and performances developed by his team at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR), Plymouth, UK.
This programme is supported by Goethe-Institut, Studio Quantum, and Zeitgeist Irland 24. Zeitgeist Irland 24, an initiative of Culture Ireland and the Embassy of Ireland in Germany.
