Quantum Entangled Chess

Alex Honeywell



ABSTRACT

In a quantum entanglement system containing two or more objects, one can- not describe the state of any single object without describing the entire system. The basics of these properties can be applied to games to provide a more unique experience. In particular, this project aims to apply quantum entanglement properties to the classical game of Chess in a mobile programming environment (using the iOS platform). The players will not be able to see their pieces, only the effect they have on the board. By effect, each piece will provide sight on only the squares that it would be able to move to. Sight from other pieces (including opponent pieces) will constructively interfere with each piece.
