Bosonic Echoes demonstrates the use of a boson sampler as the source of generative music that is a direct result of quantum interference. Boson sampling is a type of quantum computation designed to address a specific sampling problem that is believed to be infeasible for classical computers. It involves using quantum systems of bosons (particles, like photons, that follow Bose-Einstein statistics) to sample from a probability distribution related to their quantum interference in a network of optical pathways.

Bosonic Echoes is an ongoing research which explores the creative potential of a boson sampler as a sound installation and instrument. This includes using the statistical properties of indistinguishable photons as a source of randomness to create probability music composition, and transforming quantum systems into an interactive module allowing for audience participation of the sound.
