- Abstract: Quantum computing is a nascent technology, which is advancing rapidly. There
is a long history of research into using computers for music. Nowadays
computers are absolutely essential for the music economy. Thus, it is very
likely that quantum computers will impact the music industry in time to come.
This chapter lays the foundations of the new field of 'Quantum Computer Music'.
It begins with an introduction to algorithmic computer music and methods to
program computers to generate music, such as Markov chains and random walks.
Then, it presents quantum computing versions of those methods. The discussions
are supported by detailed explanations of quantum computing concepts and
walk-through examples. A bespoke generative music algorithm is presented, the
Basak-Miranda algorithm, which leverages a property of quantum mechanics known
as constructive and destructive interference to operate a musical Markov chain.
An Appendix introducing the fundamentals of quantum computing deemed necessary
to understand the chapter and a link to access Jupyter Notebooks with examples
are also provided.
