Could randomness be the creative power of the universe? At the quantum level, particles behave probabilistically, meaning that their position or momentum can only be predicted in probabilities, not certainties. In conversation, artist Libby Heaney and Kay Watson (Head of Arts Technologies at Serpentine) dive deeper into quantum computing and art, with Libby Heaney sharing how she incorporated the randomness of quantum physics into her creative practice.

How can quantum computers solve problems beyond the ability of today's most powerful supercomputers? Artist and quantum physicist Libby Heaney explains that quantum computers harness phenomena like entanglement and qubits, allowing them to process countless computations simultaneously. In 2022, Libby Heaney unveiled 'Ent-', an installation where she used self-written quantum code to manipulate and animate her own paintings. 'Ent-' explores the transformative potential and challenges quantum computing could bring to everyday life. What breakthroughs do you hope quantum computing will unlock?

The year of quantum science and technology has arrived, set to challenge our perspective of reality. To celebrate 100 years of quantum developments, the United Nations has declared 2025 the ‘International Year of Quantum Science and Technology’. The initiative highlights the importance of quantum technology in shaping our world, driving technological innovation, impacting the global economy and inspiring art and culture. Join us this January for a deeper exploration of quantum physics and its potentially transformative impact.

What might a future for all species look like? Senior Curator Carly Whitefield invites you to explore our 2024 projects, which expand on the concept of an Interspecies Future. This movement challenges human-centred perspectives and highlights the interconnectedness of all species through art, ecology, and multidisciplinary collaborations. With 2025 on the horizon, we are excited to continue pushing interdisciplinary boundaries. Credit: Josèfa Ntjam: ‘swell of spæc(i)es,’ 2024.
