This Roblox game uses quantum computing?! (Gamescom reveal) Kai plays quantum chess too

This game was shown live at Gamescom, where it got serious attention, so we had to find out what it's actually doing with quantum computing. Can a video game really run on quantum mechanics? Kai finds out, then sits down for a real game of quantum chess, where winning means putting his own king into superposition.

In this episode, Kai explores a Roblox-style quantum game (rescuing a moth using quantum mechanics!), then learns to play quantum chess with Tamás Varga, discovering what superposition and entanglement actually mean by using them to win.
Along the way, we dive into:
• How a video game can be built around real quantum mechanics
• What superposition actually means, explained through a chessboard, not a textbook
• What entanglement means and how it shows up in the game
• Why quantum ideas are showing up in gaming and entertainment, not just labs
• Kai's honest reaction to putting a chess piece in two places at once!
