Japan-based Simon Devitt at the Center for Emergent Matter Science, Riken. Just play meQuanics, a 3-D puzzle game.

The game is hardly frivolous. It is based on the scientific principles governing quantum computation. This Web-based puzzle is called meQuanics. You can play the prototype version, available now meQuanics.

A fewer number of devices and a shorter run time, increase our chance to build a real quantum computer. Reducing the resources necessary for a quantum computer is one of the most urgent and important problems to make this technology a reality.

meQuanics are important the process of playing the game creates a database of examples that can be used to train a machine.

Simon Devitt said, an initial prototype of a platform, we have dubbed meQuanics, designed to convert the topological optimization problem into a simple 3-D puzzle game has been released online. Designed for touch-based platforms such as smartphones and tablet devices, meQuanics creates an online social media environment.

The project site said that, meQuanics will be further developed into a real game to help us program quantum computers.

Devitt said, Quantum information technology is currently experiencing a second renaissance in advancement and investment from both the public and private sectors. As such, there is consensus amongst experts that it is no longer a question if a large-scale quantum computer can be built, but when.
