The third edition of ISQCMC (International Symposium on Quantum Computing and Musical Creativity) is taking place on the 28th and 29th of October 2025, at the Palazzo Steri of the University of Palermo, Italy. This is a conference focusing on the developments of the emerging field of Quantum Computer Music. The success of previous editions (Berlin/DE 2023, Plymouth/UK 2021) have helped define this field and motivated multiple contributions, and this year’s edition will have even more momentum, given that UNESCO declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies.
Participation in this conference is free. The deadline for submissions (5 pages using our template) is on May 9, 2025. Notice of acceptance is on August 15, and the deadline for registration is on September 12. Post-conference proceedings book will be submitted to Springer.
We are welcoming submissions of original papers reporting on scientific, technical, and/or artistic developments in Quantum Computer Music. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
– Quantum Algorithms in Music
– Quantum-computing Aided Composition
– Quantum Representations of Audio
– Quantum Signal Processing
– Musical Instruments
– Quantum Computing Software for Music
– Sonification of Quantum Processes and Phenomena
– Live performance with Quantum Computing
