Quantum Image Processing
2023 · 1 works · Unique works
Physical works made with Huffman's Near-Term Quantum Image Processing (NTQIP) technique, which loads bitmap images onto today's noisy quantum processors one qubit per pixel. Measurement noise from the hardware becomes visible texture in the final pen-plotted piece.

Teleportation Disk
2022 · 1 works · Unique work
Part of Huffman's Quantum Circuit Disks, which turn foundational quantum algorithms into rippling concentric rings. Alongside this sculpture the series includes pen-plotted ink drawings (2022) of Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover's algorithm, superdense coding and the Toffoli gate.
