Description

Quantum simulation of a new universe being born. The first ever NFT quantum neural generative art created using a real quantum computer. Here quantum neural networks running on an actual quantum computer were used to generate a depiction of early-universe quantum field fluctuations, the same process that seeded the matter density for our own observable universe. Artist: Guillaume Verdon Further technical background: By leveraging our control over the multiverse via quantum computers, we can mimic the Everettian wavefunction collapse which occurred in the inflationary era of the universe following the Big Bang. The collapse of this wavefunction usually occurs due to mode freezing from the rapid expansion of the fabric of spacetime, the frozen field configuration then acts as the anisotropic seed for matter density; pockets of matter which later get clumped together by gravity into the galactic superclusters we see and live in today. Here instead of having mode freezing pick a branch of the Everettian wavefunction, we use the measurement of a carefully-prepared superpositon generated by a quantum computer to determine the shape and configuration of the simulated density fluctuations amidst the multiverse of possibilities. To achieve this simulation, a set of quantum neural networks were trained to output Gaussian wavefunctions. The trained networks were subsequently run on an IBM quantum computer, the resulting samples were then used as the amplitudes for the quantum field Fourier eigenmodes. Finally, this collection of sampled amplitudes were transformed to the spatial functional basis to generate the spatial field configuration visualization depicted here. Unlockable: Link to a quantum-executable notebook with a trained quantum neural network model circuit used to generate the artwork will be unlocked upon purchase.
