Quantum Chess

Quantum Chess Is Coming to the Real World (+Video)

Fund it on Kickstarter

Sophie Bushwick | February 2, 2016



More than 1.5 million people have watched Paul Rudd challenge Stephen Hawking in the game of quantum chess. But although the "Anyone Can Quantum" video is fictional, the game is not. It's the brainchild of University of Southern California graduate student Chris Cantwell. And he's looking for funding to bring it to life.
Cantwell has been working on a fun, playable version of quantum chess since March 2014. His work eventually came to the attention of Caltech professor Spiros Michalakis, who helped Cantwell continue to develop the game until it was simple enough for an actor to master.
