Waag Open: Quantum game night

At the first edition of Waag Open in the new year, you can dive deeper into quantum technology in a playful way. Come along to this game night on Thursday 8 January and work with your fellow players to correct errors in quantum computers.

During the Quantum game night, you will explore this ambitious technology with Waag. As usual, we will do this with a predominantly critical eye. Because, as with other generative technologies, errors can quickly creep into the data. Waag has developed a digital game in collaboration with Leiden University, in which you use your creativity to correct errors in quantum computers. Human ingenuity is still of great value in solving problems. This is exactly what a machine learning model needs to be able to detect errors in quantum computers on a large scale. During this evening, you will play the game and learn about quantum technology.

We start the evening with an interactive discussion about the social impact that AI error detection and quantum technology can have. At the end of the evening, we would love to hear about your experience with the game.
