论文摘要
本文介绍了一个系统，该系统学会通过聆听示例来唱歌。它从输入音乐中提取排序规则，并使用这些规则来生成新的曲调，这些曲调是由人声合成器演唱的。我们开发了一种表示音乐作品规则作为量子电路的方法。我们声称这种音乐规则是量子本地的：它们在量子状态的幅度中自然可以编码。为了评估一条规则以生成后续事件，系统会动态构建相应的量子电路并进行测量。经过有关我们一直在实验的人声合成方法的简短讨论之后，本文通过一个实践示例介绍了我们的新颖生成音乐方法。该论文展示了一些实验，并在讨论有关利用系统的创造潜力的讨论中得出结论。
This paper introduces a system that learns to sing new tunes by listening to examples. It extracts sequencing rules from input music and uses these rules to generate new tunes, which are sung by a vocal synthesiser. We developed a method to represent rules for musical composition as quantum circuits. We claim that such musical rules are quantum native: they are naturally encodable in the amplitudes of quantum states. To evaluate a rule to generate a subsequent event, the system builds the respective quantum circuit dynamically and measures it. After a brief discussion about the vocal synthesis methods that we have been experimenting with, the paper introduces our novel generative music method through a practical example. The paper shows some experiments and concludes with a discussion about harnessing the creative potential of the system.
