Kitty Q – A Quantum Adventure
iOS & Android, Free (Philipp Stollenmayer)
Kitty Q, a mobile game created in partnership by the renowned mobile game designer Philipp Stollenmayer and Germany's Federal Ministry of Education & Research, uses the famous Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment to make quantum physics approachable for kids. Even adult scientists find quantum physics challenging.
Unlock plainly stated explanations of complex numbers, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, cold chips, and the mind-blowing, counter-intuitive world of quantum mechanics by solving puzzles and gathering accessories for a cat that is perpetually both dead and living.
It's a brilliant piece of work that undoubtedly improved our rudimentary comprehension of the next physical science adventure.
What the heck? Unsuspecting, you open the front door wide to find a box containing … a half-dead cat!? Using smart puzzle skills and clever outside-the-box thinking, you can help Kitty Q to escape her peculiar quantum superposition!
Don’t worry—Anna is there to help you. She’s the great-granddaughter of the world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Erwin Schrödinger. She will help you guide Kitty Q out of the crazy quantum world. Inside the box, everything follows its own curious rules. It really is an odd world here as Anna explains, but together you get to explore her great-grandfather Erwin Schrödinger’s specialist subject: quantum physics. Every puzzle in the game refers to observations, experiments, or phenomena from this totally unbelievable field of science. It’s a whole new world to discover!
So, you’ll get to know…
· why some tiny particles absolutely contradict all the rules at times,
· which letter will make your math teacher sweat,
· how you look in a selfie with a self-styled, half-dead cat!
In Kitty Q, you will discover more than 20 scientific facts about quantum physics that will amaze everyone.
The quantum adventure Kitty Q has been developed in collaboration with the Cluster of Excellence* ct.qmat and is completely free and without ads or in-app purchases—thanks to the funding of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the initiative ‘Research in Germany’.
*A Cluster of Excellence is a team of outstanding scientists who explore new challenges and unsolved puzzles. The answers that they find could have a crucial impact on our lives in the future. For ct.qmat, quantum physics takes center stage.
