Quantum Breakout

The Quantum Breakout Game is a quantum version of the Classic Breakout Game by Atari, Inc. built using Pygame and Qiskit. In the Classic Breakout Game, the player has to knock down as many bricks as possible by using a single ball and the paddle below to hit the ball against the bricks and eliminate them. In this quantum version of the game, players have to control the paddle by constructing a three qubits circuit such that the probability of the paddle being above the state vector where the ball is about to come is maximum.

This game helps school students and college freshmen to understand the basic concept of quantum computing: Qubit manipulation by Quantum Gates.

# Play Instruction

- Use the W, A, S, and D keys to move the marker on the circuit for adding gates at appropriate places.

- Use the X key to apply the X-Gate, the Y key to apply the Y-Gate, the Z key to apply the Z-Gate, and the H Key to apply the H-Gate.

- Use the C key to activate the control qubit, use the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT keys to reach the target qubit, and then click the key representation (X, Y, Z, and H Keys) for the gate which you want to be controlled.
