Quantum Computing as Creative Medium and Where to Find It

Summary: There will be awesome, cool hands-on experience (tutorial) about using quantum computing as a creative medium. I will teach you about what is quantum computing and how to build a software for it, and you will make your own creative artifacts using new knowledges. It will happen in ACM Creativity & Cognition 2026** conference, **13-07-2026**, at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts **London. Register here.

Longer version: Welcome back!

It’s been a while that I write a post on this tiny digital garden. One of my goals of 2026 is make the blog alive and share my stories from quantum industries, especially as an engineer who works with quantum computing for creative industries. So, I will start New Year’s resolution with the exciting news.

I actively led and delivered lots of different workshops and talks, but this event will be different. Something deep, something academic. In the upcoming event in the privileged ACM Creative & Cognition 2026 conference, my proposal, Quantum Technology for Computational Creativity: Interdisciplinary Approach for Co-creativity between Cognitive Process and Quantum Information Processing is accepted! It is the part of the Tutorials programme!

This will be a half-day tutorial which takes place in the main venue, Central Saint Martins building at UAL. (❤️) Participants learn the very basic step of quantum computing to learn how to use quantum computing as a creative material. They will use the organizer’s own research output, Quantum Brush desktop application and MicroMoth library. Participants not only get cognitive achievements but actively engage in a mini hackathon with these tools to make their own use-cases of creative quantum computing artifacts.

To attend this tutorial, you must be registered to the main conference AND also purchase the additional access right for Workshops & Tutorials. The detail can be found here

It is not cheap (at all), but the value that you’ll get from the hands-on experience will be priceless. The Tutorials paper (proposal?) will be revealed very soon on ACM Digital Library, but, spoilers, spoilers, I will use my own research outcome, Quantum Brush, as a hands-on tool to support your first quantum computing lecture.

After the deep-dive session of this tool called Quantum Brush, there will be a mini creative hackathon. You can make your own brush that has quantum backend as a visual effect. You can even challenge yourself and make your creative use-cases of quantum computing, based on the code (mainly Qiskit SDK) and your field of interest.

The form is here. Please submit the form if you want to attend! I will see you at the venue.

P.S. Don’t forget to bring your laptop! 💻
