Proton 3

The ProTon3 is a Quantum Audio Synthesizer. It was created to simulate and produce the sound of a particle going through phenomena such as superposition, tunneling or entanglement. Our objective is to bridge the gap between science and society by creating a sound-based experience of quantum phenomena that could be used for educational or musical purposes.

What was created?

With ProTon3, we take a quantum experiment and solve it in the context of the Schrödinger equation. By doing so, we can computationally create and manipulate the environment a particle lives in. Once we had a collection of different sounds, there were some elements that could be altered: sequential iteration, energy potential or overlapping to produce a variety of sound sequences that can be embedded into a regular synthesizer.

Future applications

By developing more simulations and transforming them into sound waves, a complete range of quantum music could be available for every musician, artificial intelligence, or audiovisual artist. This tool could also be used for educational purposes, to make quantum phenomena available for a broader audience.

Social aspect

On the one hand, we believe that art and in this case music, could contribute positively to a better understanding of quantum science; if you can hear it then concepts become real and harmless. On the other hand, incorporating quantum experiments into music could create a new and exciting world for music; the development of Art itself is the heartbeat of society, a treasure that fuels the pulse of social and cultural progress.
