Abstract

In this article, we present and discuss a board game called QTris that uses a concise set of rules to describe the quantum mechanics of nine qubits through the conceptual framework of preparation, operations, and measurement. Indeed, there is no quantum experiment on nine qubits that is not a game of QTris. Similarly, every game of QTris describes a quantum mechanical experiment. We show how, through its gameplay mechanics and strategies, QTris clearly emphasises the differences between statistical mixtures and coherent superpositions. As a result, the game mechanics of QTris provide an interpretation of quantum mechanics in the form of game strategies. This interpretation is clear-cut and free of metaphors.
