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

Sunday, October 4, 2026 • Duration 14:26

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.

12:09 Clay: The Last Redemption
13:23 Quantum computing and procedural generation
13:58 I lost my MOTH
14:03 Thank you, James and Natasha!

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!
