Quantum Creation

Quantum computing, musical creativity and interactive performance — research by Satofumi Souma, Kobe University.

Research and creative computation

Quantum Creation documents research connecting quantum-gate computation with musical creation and performance. The initial collection focuses on two approaches developed in research associated with the 2018 IPA MITOU Target programme.

Two approaches

Measurement-based Music Generation

Turning quantum-circuit measurement outcomes into musical events, including stochastic note generation, phase modulation, and quantum-game-theoretic approaches.

Quantum Live Coding

A simulator-based performance system translating quantum-state parameters and live-coded gate operations into musical expression.

Later research: quantum-game music

The original Google Sites website also documented a real-time two-player musical interaction system presented at ISQCMC 2025. Its online demonstration, publication record, and condensed user guide have now been preserved here.
