Potential - light

by Libby Heaney

About this work

One of the Light and Dark Potential prints on mirrored gold aluminium that consider the possible futures of quantum computing. Its companion is Potential – dark (2022).

Technique

Since 2019 Heaney has written her own quantum code in Qiskit and run it on IBM's publicly available quantum computers. She uses it to scramble and recombine the pixels of scanned watercolours, so entanglement between pixels makes the image flow across the picture plane like a quantum wave.
