The Quantum Challenge
In autumn 2017 people all over the world were invited to take on the first themed challenge of the Red Bull Mind Gamers hub to test and improve their mental skills and knowledge in an online puzzle game on quantum logic. Starting with a photon game, Mind Gamers have the opportunity to rise to the challenge of solving tasks posed by quantum science and apply the key principles of interference and entanglement. The players can then test their knowledge through five tricky quantum questions.
The prize-winner will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists from the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology at the University of Vienna on quantum research and the development of new technologies. Their travel and stay in Vienna will be funded by Red Bull Mind Gamers.
Information on the quantum challenge of the Red Bull Mind Gamers can be found here.
