Arianna Crippa et al.

Arianna Crippa is an Italian physicist and painter at DESY Zeuthen and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Her physics research includes lattice gauge theories on quantum computers, and she co-authored the "Quantum Computing for High-Energy Physics" white paper. She works with Yahui Chai (physicist), Omar Costa Hamido (artist and technologist, University of Coimbra), Paulo Itaborai (physicist and artist) and Karl Jansen (physicist, DESY and The Cyprus Institute) as the collective QC-PAINT. The group grew out of DESY's quantum music work, including a quantum keyboard and the Variational Quantum Harmonizer. Its painting series Quantum Transformation, documented in the paper "Quantum computing inspired paintings: reinterpreting classical masterpieces" (arXiv:2411.09549), was presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 in Linz.
