Why Quantum

A new kind of emergent gameplay

Quantum mechanics is a new playground for game designers. Superposition, entanglement, and interference are real physical laws tied to the fundamental fabric of the universe. The emergent gameplay they produce is unlike anything available from classical systems.

Structure, Not Randomness

Superposition isn't "maybe." It's all states at once, with mathematical relationships intact. Interference creates patterns. Entanglement creates correlations. The resulting behavior feels designed, but nobody wrote it.

Players Discover, Designers Don't Dictate

When quantum states entangle, they create correlations across your entire game. Players find strategies you never planned. Speedrunners exploit quantum effects you didn't know were there.

Proven in Production

Three shipping games. A Caltech IQIM × LCAD game jam where student teams built playable quantum games in one week. The API is backend-agnostic: the same game code runs on simulation today and on quantum hardware without changes. We've done it.

Built with Quantum Forge

Shipping games. Real quantum mechanics.

Every game below runs real quantum simulation. Superposition, entanglement, and interference drive the core gameplay, not the art direction.

Play Now

Quantris

Tetris meets quantum mechanics. Blocks exist in superposition until measured. Entangle pieces across the tower. Clear lines by collapsing reality.

Ponq

Quantum pong with entangled balls. Balls split and recombine through quantum zones. Phase affects trajectory. Measure to score.

Entanglement Phase Interference

Experimental

Bloch Invaders

Space invaders on the Bloch sphere. Damage scales with quantum state overlap. Enemies decohere, entangle, and implement the quantum Zeno effect.

In Development

In 2024, we partnered with Caltech's IQIM and LCAD to run a quantum game jam. Student teams built playable quantum games in one week using Quantum Forge.

How It Works

Three steps to quantum gameplay

Define quantum properties

Attach quantum state to any game object. A coin flip is dimension 2, a die is dimension 6, a hex tile is dimension 6. Each property becomes a qudit in the simulation.

Apply quantum operations

Use gates like Hadamard, phase rotation, and i_swap to create superposition and entanglement. Operations compose. The quantum math handles the rest.

Measure and play

You, the designer, decide when and what to measure, collapsing the quantum state and manifesting reality for the players. That choice is your main design tool.

quantum-coin.ts

                        import { QuantumPropertyManager } from '@quantum-native/quantum-forge';
import { Engine } from '@quantum-native/quantum-forge-engine';

// Create a quantum coin (dimension 2 = two possible states)
const coin = quantum.acquire({ dimension: 2 });

// Put it in superposition: heads AND tails at the same time
quantum.hadamard(coin);

// Entangle with another coin
const coin2 = quantum.acquire({ dimension: 2 });
quantum.iSwap(coin, coin2, 0.5);

// Measure one coin. Both collapse. Results are correlated.
const result = quantum.measure(coin);
