"Quantum Moves" that can help you develop real-world quantum computers when you play

In DenmarkAarhus UniversityIs developing a quantum computer, the project which started to solve the problems concerning quantum mechanics faced by the university physicists was "Quantum Moves"is. In the project, we take a new approach to solve the problem of optimization of quantum computation rather than computation "solving in games", and players play the game, cutting-edge quantum mechanics that the research team led by Jacob · Shearson You can help research.

Game is offered for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, which is a different color game "Quantum Moves" that can support research on quantum mechanics, but this time I will play games on Windows version.

Please access the above URL and click "PLAY ON WINDOWS".


Click "OK".


Then the download of the file "QuantumMoves.zip" will start. When the download is completedExplzhUnzip the ZIP file using decompression software such as.


Since there is a file called "QuantumMoves.exe" in the unzipped folder, it starts up.


The installation screen for "Quantum Moves" will start, so select "I accept the agreement" and click "Next".


Click "Next".


Click "Next".


Click "Next".


Click "Install".


Click "Finish".


Then "Quantum Moves" starts as it is. Click "Play!" To start the game.


This is the game screen of "Quantum Moves". Since the arrow icon pointing to the right is displayed on the screen ... ...


If you drag the screen to the right with the mouse as instructed, the line on the screen (the part drooping downwards) moves rightward according to the movement of the mouse. And when the line is halfway into the purple area on the right side of the screen, "Release to get points" is displayed on the screen so when you release the mouse ...


Stage clear. The score is about 480,000 points, 2 stars with 3 stage rating. To go further to the next stage click on the icon in the lower right of the screen OK.


Stage 2 is like this. In playing over and over, the purple area on the left side of the screen was the target point ......


As you draw a line here, the star gathers in the round icon ... ...


If you put the line completely inside the purple area, three stars will accumulate.


Release the mouse here and clear the stage. The score is 660,000 points, the evaluation is three stars.


The state of play at the stage clearing is as follows.

On the contrary, when moving the mouse violently up and down, left and right, the purple fluid accumulated in the hollow moves vigorously ......


Even if you put a dent in the purple area, the stars for clearing will not accumulate.


Failure to release the mouse as it is. As shown in the figure below, the stage can not be cleared unless you enter the area with plenty of purple fluid in the well.


As you move the mouse, you can see how the fluid in the indentation is gradually moving furiously in the following movie.

The task in the game is to "find a clever way to manipulate or move atoms", so carrying as much of this violet fluid as possible into the area is a task of atomic It seems to be useful for "something" about movement. The game itself is very simple, but as the initial conditions gradually become difficult as you clear the stage, there is also addiction as a game beyond imagination.

You can see how you are playing a more complicated stage than the initial stage in the following movies.
