Info

Poetic Quantum is an interactive installation that uses IBM quantum data to generate poems when it is observed. It is an artwork that uses the Quantum superposition as a metaphor and becomes entangled and ambiguous when no one is looking at or observing it. When a spectator looks at it for the first time, the words fall into a meaningful verse.

State 1

No human is observing,

qubits and words are in superposition.

State 2

Human is observing,

qubits and words collapse into meaningful verse.
