Defining Quantum Games
share
In this article, we explore the concept of quantum games and define quantum games as any type of playable games that are related to or reference quantum physics through any of three proposed aspects. The rise of the quantum computers has made it possible to think about a new wave of computer games, namely quantum computer games, games on quantum computers. But at the same time, there are also various games that are exploring quantum mechanics and related topics through digital, analogue and hybrid means. In this article we go through the emerging body of quantum games, the history of quantum games and the different ways a game may be considered a quantum game. For this we propose three dimensions for analysing and defining the phenomenon of quantum games: the perceivable dimension of quantum games, the dimension of quantum technologies and the dimension of scientific purposes.
