Yesterday was World Quantum Day and Google celebrated this day in a different way by releasing Qubit Game. The company says this game, created in partnership with Doublespeak, is “a fun journey towards building a quantum computer by adding one qubit at a time.” He also hopes that the game and World Quantum Day will help increase interest in this field.
The game revolves around qubits, which are the basic building blocks of a quantum computer. The aim of this very simple game is to increase the number of qubits while keeping them cool; You don’t need to learn any quantum math or physics. The more qubits you have, the harder it is to keep the temperature away from the qubits. After a while, you’ll discover new upgrades, complete major research projects, and get a little better understanding of how quantum computers are built, as told by Abe Asfaw, head of education at Google Quantum.
The purpose of publishing this game is stated to be to draw attention to quantum computing since there are very few people working in this field. To that end, Google is bringing the game into classes, hoping to encourage educators to talk about the topic and expand access to quantum computing research. “We need more students pursuing careers building or using quantum computers and understanding what it’s like to be a quantum scientist or engineer,” says
Asfaw. “For me, World Quantum Day is about that. : to show everyone what quantum computing really is and how they can get involved.”
