Summary/Abstract: Quantum music is an idea to compose music based on a fundamental physical theory, quantum theory. One of the underlying theses of the project is that by merging a deep theory of physics with music one can provide a more interesting musical landscape. An interesting problem opened by quantum music is whether this idea will, or will not, allow one to move closer to objective beauty, if such a thing exists. I will explore what the implications of quantum music are for this issue. Can the marriage of science and art permit the achievement of a richer set of aestetic outputs?
