Hearing Quantum Evolution #16

Open JavaFXpert opened 3 years ago

JavaFXpert commented 3 years ago

Description

When a quantum state evolves, there are 2^n basis states whose probability amplitudes and phases evolve as well. Quantum states may be represented in a Hilbert space, and their evolution may be modeled by unitary matrices from which 2^n wave patterns may be derived, each having amplitude and frequency.

Unfortunately, nature doesn't permit us to observe, or rather listen to, a quantum state evolving. However, quantum simulators such as those supplied in Qiskit may be employed to model this evolution and compute its wave patterns. These oscillations could be used as a starting point in traditional audio synthesis, so that we may listen to unobservable but fundamental melodies and harmonies baked into the universe and happening all around us.

Dropping a comment as requested. And sure we will change the project description (refine it).

@sierpinskiii Can you comment on this issue so that I can assign you? Please also work with your mentor to refine the project, define scope and deliverables and update the project description in this issue.
