ABSTRACT
In this paper we present the Quantum Synth project, an interface between Qiskit and Max for controlling sound synthesis parameters encoded on the basis states of a quantum computer. This sound synthesis is obtained from the potential measured outcomes of a quantum circuit. The effects of using fundamental quantum operations as found in the Bell circuit, for the generation of entangled states, and the Grover's search algorithm have been demonstrated. The interface has been designed to be used by music performers and composers in their creative process, and as a resource to both learn Quantum Computing and analyze the intrinsic noise of real quantum hardware.

A Quantum Computing Arithmetic-logic Unit
ACMSE 2023: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Southeast ConferenceWe show that a quantum version of a classical arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) can be implemented on a quantum circuit. It would perform the same functions as a classical ALU, with the possibility of adding quantum functions in conjunction. To create the ...
