They are the building blocks of newfangled <i>quantum computers</i>. As newly-minted employees of The Qubit Factory you will have the privilege of processing qubits in our state-of-the-art production lines. By harnessing the power of quantum entanglement and superpositions you will help up deliver exciting new computational products to our valued customers! </p><h2 class="bb_tag" >// ---------------------------------------------- //</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ><i>The Qubit Factory</i> is an open-ended puzzle game about building logic circuits to solve computational tasks, inspired by classic titles from developer Zachtronics. Based on authentic representations of quantum bits and components, <i>The Qubit Factory </i>features puzzles based on key concepts and algorithms from the field of <i>quantum computing.</i></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Open-Ended Puzzles</strong> - Factory employees are encouraged to design their own unique solutions to given tasks. Bonuses will be awarded to those meeting strict efficiency criteria. Convoluted and/or poorly-optimized solutions will be frowned upon.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Faithful Physics</strong> - Designed and programmed by a real (semi-successful) research scientist in the field of quantum computing: key concepts and algorithms from quantum computing are conveyed accurately, allowing players to build genuine knowledge about quantum computing!</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Accessible</strong>- Core concepts are built slowly, with players encouraged to build foundational understanding in classical computing before progressing to quantum analogues. No prior computer/physics knowledge is assumed!</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p>
