Game Concept:
The world is changing, scientists have predicted about the amount of computing power that would support humanity's growing technological needs. Will humanity ever have the amount of computing power it needs for the future? According to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a microprocessor continues to double every 18 months, the year 2025 or 2030 will find the circuits on a microprocessor measured on an atomic scale. The logical next step would be to create quantum computers, which will harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and other processing tasks. You, the player, take control of a highly credentialed professor in the field of computer engineering, and you must create quantum computers that have the potential to perform calculations and tasks significantly faster than any other silicon-based computer out there. The computers you create must harness and exploit the amazing laws of quantum mechanics (or quantum physics) to process information. Today's computers use long strings of "bits," which encode either a zero (false) or a one (true). However, your computers must utilize quantum bits (also known as qubits) that encodes zero and one into two distinguishable quantum states.
This game resides in the educational genre and it is aimed to teach players a bit about computer hardware, software and quantum physics.
Platforms:
PC, Mac.
