Recently, a leaked paper from Google pointed out that their research team has for the first time achieved the so-called "quantum supremacy", i.e. the significant superiority of a quantum computer over the fastest known classical computer. A milestone in the history of quantum computers and the beginning of a new information age. But the new era of quantum computers also presents artists and composers with a world of possibilities yet to be discovered in the field of generative art and algorithmic composition - »α|0› + β|1›« (the formula for the linear combination of two qubits and their basic status) shows the real-time, cloud-based, live coding on IBM's quantum computer Q and the subsequent bonification of the measurement results of the programmed quantum circuits.
