  In the frame of a year-long artistic residency at the Yale Quantum Institute
in 2019, artist and technologist Spencer Topel and quantum physicists Kyle
Serniak and Luke Burkhart collaborated to create Quantum Sound, the first-ever
music created and performed directly from measurements of superconducting
quantum devices. Using analog- and digital-signal-processing sonification
techniques, the team transformed GHz-frequency signals from experiments inside
dilution refrigerators into audible sounds. The project was performed live at
the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven, Connecticut on June
14, 2019 as a structured improvisation using the synthesis methods described in
this chapter. At the interface between research and art, Quantum Sound
represents an earnest attempt to produce a sonic reflection of the quantum
realm.
