The Qubit Factory is an open-ended puzzle game about building logic circuits to solve computational tasks, inspired by classic titles from developer Zachtronics. Based on authentic representations of quantum bits and components, The Qubit Factory features puzzles based on key concepts and algorithms from the field of quantum computing.
Open-Ended Puzzles - Factory employees are encouraged to design their own unique solutions to given tasks. Bonuses will be awarded to those meeting strict efficiency criteria. Convoluted and/or poorly-optimized solutions will be met with disappointment.
Faithful Physics - Designed by a real (semi-successful) research scientist in the field of quantum computing: key concepts and algorithms from quantum computing are conveyed accurately, allowing players to build genuine knowledge about quantum computing!
Accessible- Core concepts are built slowly, with players encouraged to build foundational understanding in classical computing before progressing to quantum analogues. No prior computer/physics knowledge is assumed!
----- New Employee Onboarding: Classical vs Quantum Computing -----
Below are classical bits, which all regular computers operate on. [Boooooring]
Much more exciting are quantum bits (or qubits for short), which are not limited to simple {0,1} states.
Qubits are the building blocks of experimental quantum computers currently under development in high-tech research labs. So, what makes qubits and quantum computers special? Well, this is what you will explore during your tenure in The Qubit Factory! By learning to entangle qubits to form quantum superpositions you will be able to process information in completely different ways than is possible with regular computers!
