A downloadable game for Windows

Made as part of Quantum Game Jam 2016, this game/app/tool is a proof of concept for citizen science related, in this case, to a Bose-Einstein condensate being probed by a single qubit. The aim is to disturb the condensate as little as possible while using it as a storage of quantum information. This is represented visually by a mix of red and green colors and is implemented using a Virtual Reality kit.

A Quantum escape-room.
