Today (March 22nd, 2023) is the opening day of QUANTUM ART: Creative Expressions of the Infamously Counterintuitive. This group art exhibition in collaboration between IBM Quantum and The New School showcases artwork and projects created using IBM Quantum Computers. I am very excited about this art show for many reasons…

“You are all wave particles when I close my eyes. I am no more entranced by your entanglement than a butterfly is to a bee.” — Solange Nicole Ah yes, quantum entanglement. One of the most important aspects of quantum computing yet one of the most misunderstood aspects of quantum…

“I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.” - Piet Mondrian Mondrian saw a spirituality in art, one that was rooted in search of the most fundamental properties of creative expression. Quantum mechanics governs…

I recently started a collaboration with the AI artist Pindar Van Arman on a piece called Quantum Skull. As fellow enthusiasts in creative uses of emerging technology, Van Arman and I decided to explore how AI generated art and quantum generated art could be meaningfully used together. We ultimately arrived…

By Joel Russell Huffman and Eduardo Reck Miranda The Sharp Scale is a series of seven quantum generative art pieces by Joel Russell Huffman and Eduardo Reck Miranda produced with an IBM Quantum system, released as NFTs. This series is a part of the practice of using emerging technology in…

Over the past six months, myself and a handful of folks from IBM Quantum have had the pleasure of working with The New School and the Parsons School of Design to put on a Design Jam that explores quantum computing through the lens of art and music. We began organizing…

The Qiskit textbook has slowly become one of the most content-robust, free resources for learning quantum computing available today. But as the content continued to develop, it became clear that the textbook was outgrowing its platform. At its core, it was basically a series of Jupyter Notebooks stitched together and…

When talking about “8-bit art”, the image that comes to mind is usually low-pixel artwork akin to retro video games. Eight bits of data is not a lot of information, yet working with such constraints can yield some really beautiful and unique results. Like the video game consoles of yesterday…

I recently purchased an Axidraw v3 pen plotter, which can faithfully reproduce vector artwork on a drawing surface using any drawing tool, such as a micron pen (or a gel pen, in my case). This may seem like a funny little retro device to pair with a quantum computer, but…
