ICMC 2025 Boston Fenway Center - Quantum Computing Panel

In 2025, UNESCO celebrates the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics by declaring it the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology—coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the International Computer Music Conference. This panel explores how the emerging field of quantum computer music, driven by new quantum algorithms and accessible small-scale quantum hardware, is already inspiring innovative generative and AI-based musical works and promises to reshape the future of music creation, performance, and distribution.
