Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin ‘Quantum Universe’ Symphony for Organ, Quantum Guitar and Electronics (2025)
Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin ‘Quantum Universe’ Symphony for Organ, Quantum Guitar and Electronics (2025) YouTube video by Oxford Philosophy of Physics

Here it is, the first ever quantum symphony, "Quantum Universe", composed by "Kazakh Mozart" Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, with him in Cathedral Organ, and me on Quantum Guitar.

"Quantum" in two ways: Abdyssagin's book "Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music", and my Quantum Guitar.

Our first ZX-calculus paper was written in 2007 in the Alborz mountains in Iran. Let's hope that the Iranian people can get what "they" want. (RIP Hassan)

Being in industrial music, quite something to have a show advertised by the Faculty of Music of the University of Oxford, which is traditionally very traditional.

Free subsidised show, come and see us.

Beyond Penrose tensor diagrams with the ZX calculus: Applications to quantum computing, quantum machine learning, condensed matter physics, and quantum gravity We introduce the Spin-ZX calculus as an elevation of Penrose's diagrams and associated binor calculus to the level of a formal diagrammatic language. The power of doing so is illustrated by the variet...

Glad that I can brag about this paper as co-author as my contribution has been minimal. Takes ZX-calculus to a new level by connecting quantum foundations research, it's initial motivation, to condensed matter physics and (loop) quantum gravity research.
