Quantum is the defining technology of the coming decades: the wave waiting at the door right behind AI. Yet there is almost no way for people to touch it. It feels like science fiction, and is widely misread as simply “more computing power.” Understanding the fundamentally different quantum world is what unlocks its applications, and an entire generation is unprepared for it.
The revolution right behind AI: reshaping computing, sensing, materials and security.
Whole new professions are emerging that will be severely understaffed. Interest has to be built early.
No imagination for real applications, little literacy, and barely any real points of contact. Almost nobody is building here yet.
Quantum Entertainment Berlin connects cutting-edge research with a thriving games industry and a vibrant music scene—in the one city where all three already live. Built on prior work across Oxford, Hamburg and Berlin, and the publicly funded research project EntangleVR: Quantum Architect at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
See quantum in three dimensions.
A VR application that visualises quantum structures in 3D space (based on Bob Coecke’s ZX-calculus) and makes them interactively malleable. The industry’s notation standard leaps from static 2D into living, dynamic 3D. No higher mathematics required: intuitive, vivid, with feedback you can feel. Built around game design that makes people want quantum. Never educational.
Play a quantum computer like an instrument.
Software that translates real quantum systems (controlled through MIDI) into sound, video and choreography. Sonification, audio, dance, generative visuals: a true multi-system interaction. A one-qubit prototype already runs on our own quantum guitar (project 03) and is in the hands of many artists. The sheer novelty appeals to an enormously broad spectrum of creators.
Quantum you can hold.
Real instruments and components. A working quantum guitar prototype has already been played in high-profile venues. A line of quantum pedals is next, including many-user pedals that create entanglement to spark musical interaction between players. Guitarists and electronic musicians are eager experimenters and keen collectors of new toys.
Father of categorical quantum computing and the ZX-calculus, and one of the most visible figures in quantum foundations. Connects quantum research with music and creativity, a field he pioneered.
Co-founder of gamelab.berlin and co-director of the leap innovation hub (Quantum Leap Berlin). Dual expertise in serious games and quantum technology, deeply rooted in both ecosystems, with a track record in community building.
Co-founder of gamelab.berlin (HU Berlin), founder of the PLAY:AI Lab and managing director of Playersjourney GmbH. Game design, XR development, science communication and company building.
A platform for the generation that will build, play and live in the quantum age. We’re incorporating in Berlin in 2026, and we’d love to build it with you.
We’re talking to investors, funding bodies and partners who want to be part of this from the start.
