Testing a hybrid hardware quantum multi-agent system architecture that utilizes the quantum speed advantage for interactive computer music

Abstract

This paper introduces MIq (Multi-Agent Interactive qgMuse), which builds on the single agent quantum system qgMuse using teleportation. MIq is the first attempt at a real-time interactive quantum computer music algorithm that utilises the quantum advantage. Previous interactive or real-time quantum music algorithms running on quantum computers have been mappings of classical computing algorithms, with no quantum advantage obtained. MIq provides a quadratic speed-up over classical methods. It is a Quantum Hybrid Multi-agent System architecture implemented on 5 and 14 qubit quantum hardware. Classical agents and quantum agents connect via a classical/quantum hybrid agent that enables communication using quantum teleportation.
