Quantum Moves
Quantum Moves is an online citizen science simulation game where you move quantum atoms. The objective of the game is to complete challenges that are simulations of logical operations in a quantum computer. The game aims to merge theoretical and experimental quantum research with online community efforts to explore the potential for online citizen science in this otherwise highly specialized field. Quantum Moves is a game developed by ScienceAtHome based at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Quantum Moves: Exploring the quantum speed limit with computer games
Humans routinely solve problems of immense computational complexity by intuitively forming simple, low-dimensional heuristic strategies. Citizen science (or crowd sourcing) is a way of exploiting this ability by presenting scientific research problems to non-experts. ‘ […]
