For World Quantum Day on April 14, Berkeley Lab’s Computing Sciences Area (CSA) celebrated the interdisciplinary collaboration between the Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Berkeley Lab and the California-based contemporary visual artist Benjamin Arizmendi.

Arizmendi created “In Search Of Symmetry,” a mixed media composition using quantum information theory and formulas driven by cutting-edge quantum computing research and development at AQT.

The Berkeley Lab Foundation supported the collaboration. Dan Olesen donated the painting, which is now on display in Shyh Wang Hall on the Berkeley Lab campus.
