Q1Synth and the quantum AI software used in Lumina Grooves, Qubism and Zeno 2.0 were developed at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR), University of Plymouth. The wearable interface used in Swirling Qubits was built at the Berlin University of the Arts in collaboration with Einstein Centre Digital Future, Berlin.

An IBM quantum computer based in the USA was used for the composition and performance of Qubism. Much appreciation to Karl Jansen at the Desy Physics Research Institute, for enabling access to the IBM quantum computer. Photonic computing resources by Quandela in France were used to compose Lumina Grooves. Thanks to Brian Siegelwax for support in programming the photonic software. Swirling Qubits and Zeno 2.0 were composed and performed using an IQM quantum computer based in Finland. Many thanks to IQM for its support.

My heartfelt appreciation to Moth for their invaluable partnership in bringing my musical vision to life. Thanks to the University of Plymouth for making this release possible. I am deeply thankful to Ilyas Khan, the founder of Quantinuum, for his unwavering support and belief in the potential of quantum computing for creativity.
