Qubits A classical bit is 0 or 1. A qubit can be both until you measure it. When you do, it becomes 0 or 1 and stays that way. In the game, “?” orbs are unmeasured qubits.

Entanglement Link “entangle” two qubits to set a rule:

• “=” → same value – called corellated
• “≠” → opposite values – called anticorrelated

When you measure one, the other is instantly fixed by the rule. You can’t predict the value (random), only the relationship.

How to Play

• Drag between qubits to link them
• Toggle links (= or ≠)
• Click a qubit to measure (this locks values and spreads through links)

You have limited links and measurements, so plan ahead. Goal: after measuring everything, all group conditions must be satisfied.

Qubits Each qubit ends up as 0 or 1 when measured. Before measurement, it’s in a superposition—a mix of both, with certain probabilities (not a hidden fixed value).

Links (Entanglement Rules) A link doesn’t assign values—it enforces a relationship:

• “=” → the two qubits must match
• “≠” → they must differ These are constraints on the final outcomes.

Why It Matters

• Entanglement encodes global correlations, representing problems as constraints on joint qubit states rather than independent bits.
• Quantum operations use interference on this entangled state to amplify valid solutions and suppress invalid ones.
• Measurement samples from the resulting distribution, returning correct answers with high probability despite irreversible collapse.
