Making Music Using Two Quantum Algorithms

Abstract: This document explores how to make music using quantum computing algorithms. The text is an unedited pre-publication chapter which will appear in the book "Quantum Computer Music", Miranda, E. R. (Editor). This chapters provides the background and specific details of a collaboration formed in 2021 between the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs - a quantum computing and technology research group at the University of Bristol - and music artist, producer and audio engineer Simon Small. The goal of the collaboration was to explore how the data and concepts used in the research at the university could be `sonified' to create sounds or even make music.
