Quantum Computer Art Studies
Akihiro Kubota ↗Studies made by Kubota with QIQB, The University of Osaka, on a real superconducting quantum computer, published as a two-volume booklet (Ver. 1.0, August 2025) and shown at Expo 2025 Osaka. One volume develops a "quantum information aesthetics" that measures the beauty of quantum states through entanglement and entropy. The other, Quantum Chip Bitmap, treats the qubit chip itself as a canvas.

Technique
Each qubit on the chip is a pixel and gates are drawing tools: X flips a pixel, SX sets brightness through superposition, and CNOT binds pixels through entanglement. Measurement destroys the state, so the image only appears through repeated prepare-and-measure runs. The images were Risograph-printed so that print errors echo the hardware's noise.
