Qunnect4 is a quantum adaptation of the classic game Connect 4, designed to illustrate the counterintuitive aspects of quantum phenomena such as superposition, collapse, and entanglement.
In this game, a red-blue yin yang symbol
represents a superposed
token, simulating a bichromatic photon in a superposition of two energy
states - or colors. When a superposed token
is measured, it collapses
to 
or
.
Tokens are grouped in pairs. A pair of tokens, named with same greek letter,
are entangled. In other words, if one token is measured and collapses to
, the other token will collapse
to simultaneously, and vice versa.
A player places a pair of entangled tokens each turn. This is different to Connect 4, in which only one token is placed.
To prevent a cycling condition, where one player always collapses the tokens
placed by the other, a player is not allowed to collapse an unmeasurable token,
represented by a gray out yin yang symbol
. An unmeasurable token
becomes measureable
after its row or column is
fully occupied. This rule ensures a fair and balanced gameplay experience for
both players.
