Game description
QLAB (QUANTUM LABORATORY) is a board game designed to serve as an educational tool for secondary school and undergraduate teachers to introduce students, to basic concepts of quantum computing such as qubits, superposition, entanglement, coherence time, etc, in a fun and interactive way.
How does QLAB work?
Each person manages a laboratory where quantum computing experiments are carried out. If successful, those experiments will contribute to the quantum scientific community around the world. All actions are colour-coded, so it’s easy to understand the game dynamics. But you will need to be fast and use the minimun possible actions or else the experiment will collapse, forcing you to start over.
