"Unveiling the Hidden Physics Secrets through an Ancient Board Game"
Researchers at Tulane University have developed a modified version of the ancient board game mancala, called ManQala, to explore quantum state engineering. By applying quantum rules to the game, they aim to understand how to control and manipulate quantum systems to achieve desired states. The simulations conducted in the study showed promising results, even in simplified systems. The researchers believe that ManQala could have practical applications in experimental research and hope to test it on the IBM Quantum cloud computer.
