Examples of Quantum Games

Here are some games that have some claim to be 'quantum games', and which can be played without any downloads or installation. They are organized into various categories based their claim to quantumness.

The 'Implementation' categories concern how the games were made.

  • Hardware: At least some aspect runs on on quantum computer hardware.
  • Software: At least some part is written using software intended for quantum hardware, but it runs on an emulator.
  • Inspiration: Aspects of the game where inspired by quantum effects, or use custom emulation of specific effects.

The 'Purpose' categories concern why the games were made to be quantum.

  • Capabilities: Demonstrate some principle about what quantum computing can do, or an effect from quantum physics.
  • Limitations: Demonstrates some of the limitations of current quantum computing hardware.
  • Random: Uses quantum effects as a random number generator.
