Quantum Memory of Musical Compositions

Neurons and Cognition 2023-10-12 v1

Abstract

The perception and appreciation of beauty in a musical composition appears as being related to the amount of memory and balance between expectation and surprise. In this study, we use a formal computing tool derived from quantum mechanics and adapted to music, to measure the degree of memory of orchestral music, including Liebestod by R. Wagner. We discuss our results and further lines of research.
