Abstract
We present Quantum Brush, an open-source digital painting tool that harnesses quantum computing to generate novel artistic expressions. The tool includes four different brushes that translate strokes into unique quantum algorithms, each highlighting a different way in which quantum effects can produce novel aesthetics. Each brush is designed to be compatible with the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, as demonstrated by executing them on IQM's Sirius device.
