How to show off quantum computing?

How can art and design communicate the abstract concepts of quantum computing to a larger audience?

 

In a teaching and research project, the Köln International School of Design (Cologne, Germany) and the 

Parsons School of Design, Design and Technology Program

(NYC, USA) collaborate with the DLR Institute for AI Safety and Security (Department of Quantum AI and Quantum-classical Hybrid Systems) to develop concepts of interactive installations that help understand the weirdness of the quantum computing world. After visting New York in October, both schools visit Amsterdam to work at the Waag FutureLab and for a one-day symposium at the Sandberg Institute of Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Parsons School of Design, Köln International School of Design (KISD), and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) work together to communicate quantum computing through art and design. This collaboration deals with science communication and aims to creatively show quantum computing in a way that is accesible and exciting to engage with through physical interactions and materials.
