Concept
[A]synchronous aims to make the science behind quantum computing - specifically the phenomena of quantum entanglement and superposition - more accessible to the public. Using real data from IBMs quantum computer, the project visualizes the relationship between two entangled and superposed qubits. The perfect symmetry between the qubits is visually shown through a TouchDesigner animation. However, since no quantum computer is perfect yet, the perfect symmetry is then distorted by noise in our data. This is achieved by warping the visuals according to the system's noise.

Technical Aspects
- Using Quiskit, we designed a superposed and entangled quantum circuit and ran it through a Quantum Computer.
- The TouchDesigner animation reads the data and visually responds to noise in the quantum system.
- Ableton Push lets users add gates to the quantum circuit.
- An Arduino connected to vibration motors represent the noise in our quantum circuit.
