The VR game QuantumVR, developed by SZENARIS in collaboration with TU Braunschweig, has been recognised at the Comenius-Edu Media-Awards in the “Computer games with competence-enhancing potentials” category. The game, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, offers a playful introduction to quantum programming. It is designed like an escape room, where trapped animals are freed by solving puzzles, which are small quantum algorithms. QuantumVR is used in the new master’s programme “Quantum Technologies” at TU Braunschweig and is a showcase for trade fairs and similar events.
QuantumVR: An Introduction to Quantum Programming
QuantumVR was funded as part of the “Quantum Active” initiative by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The game provides an engaging introduction to the world of quantum programming. It is designed as an escape room where trapped animals are freed by solving puzzles. These puzzles are small quantum algorithms that must be created with selected quantum gates. Quantum gates are elementary operations that a quantum computer can perform. The game aims to spark interest in the complex “quantum programming” topic.
QuantumVR is used in the new master’s program “Quantum Technologies” at the Technical University of Braunschweig as an introduction to the topic. In addition, QuantumVR serves as a showcase for trade fairs or similar events.
If interested, you can try QuantumVR for free on Steam link
