This mash-up of art and the quantum world reveals that, like everything else, music operates at nature’s tiniest and most fundamental level – the quantum level – and that art and science have always followed a parallel course: by turns ruled by order and tradition, then by innovation, then by new rules and paradigms.</p> <p>Accompanied by narration and video, the storyline moves from Newton’s falling-apple physics to the counterintuitive world of the quantum realm, with the help of classical Mozart, contemporary Webern, and avant-garde works by Xenakis and Cage.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> Mon, 02 Mar 2015 17:51:02 +0000 Kimberly Kuntz 934 at /institute-for-quantum-computing
