Quantum Computers and Art: How and Why

In this workshop we explore the potential for connections between quantum computers and art.

The event will feature diverse perspectives on art-science interactions, with new ideas being generated through discourse formats such as presentations and group discussions. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on workshops where they can explore the creative process related to quantum computing and art. For instance, artists working with quantum computers will be given the opportunity to present their work and be inspired for new pieces in discussions; scientists, musicians, painters and writers will discuss the possibilities and opportunities of using quantum computing to create new visual art, music and literature; or participants may create art with or for quantum computers.

The aim is to build networks between disciplines and develop new ideas for collaboration to create concrete artworks. The idea is to round off the closed workshop with a public, high-profile event in Berlin with art exhibitions and music performances.

The workshop will have invited talks selected by the local organization and the external advisory board, as well as submitted presentations. If you would like to present, moderate a panel, or organize a hands-on workshop, please submit an abstract. To all participants applies: We expect you to actively work together on the workshop topics. Therefore, to ensure that everyone has some background in quantum computing and art, please register and fill in the "field of interest" with insights into your current work.

It is planned to have a summary paper which will be submitted to a high-ranking journal.
