Approaching Quantum Entanglement Developing a Serious Game in Quantum Computing for IT Professionals

Quantum Computing (QC) has gained a constantly rising level of attention and interest in the last years from academic institutions and research teams in the industry alike. Although several serious games (SG) for QC are available to date, the specific learning needs of IT professionals are not sufficiently covered to equip them with a knowledge base on the fundamental concepts of QC. Based on an analysis of 12 current SGs in QC, we have identified the concept of Entanglement as an underrepresented learning objective and have developed a SG around Quantum Entanglement using the Greenberg-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) experiment as a joint project in cooperation with the IBM Quantum Ambassadors team.
