Checkmate! Or not? Beauty of quantum chess - an educational tool to understand quantum physics & computing with Tamas Varga, PhD

Voice of FinTech®

Tamás Varga, PhD, founder of q-edu-lab.com, spoke with Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about the educational game he invented, Niels' Chess, which teaches the principles of quantum physics through the game of chess.

Here is what they talked about:

• How did Tamas get to do what he does today
• Brief explanation of the basic principles of quantum, and especially quantum computing, e.g., superposition, entanglement, random collapse, unitary transformation, and a bit of quantum interference in some variants
• Discussed what would constitute a working, i.e., useful quantum computer
• Why is it taking so long to build one?
• Where does the name Niels' chess come from?
• How does it work, and why did you pick chess as a basic game to explain it? See the picture of the moves on the podcast website here.
• How can a game like this generate revenue, and who is it intended for?
• Ìs there an online version?
• Milestones ahead
