qCraft Explores Quantum Physics in Minecraft

October 21, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

A mod called qCraft explores the intricacies of quantum physics through Minecraft.

Quantum physics is the future of computing. So it comes as no surprise that computer scientists are playing around with the technology.

At Google, the Quantum AI Lab Team has put together a new mod for Minecraft called qCraft, which adds blocks that exhibit quantum mentanglement, superposition, and observer-dependent properties. These blocks can be activated simply by looking at them, while others disappear when no one's looking.

According to a post on Google+ by the Lab Team, the goal of the mod is to get gamers thinking about physics in a "playful new way".

"qCraft isn't a perfect scientific simulation, but it's a fun way for players to experience a few parts of quantum mechanics outside of thought experiments or dense textbook examples," says the Lab Team. "We don't even know the full potential of what you can make with qCraft, but we're excited to see what Minecraft's players can discover."

A demonstration of the project can be seen below.
