🔗 GHZ Game

A team game that no classical strategy wins every round — with entanglement, you always do.

The real Qiskit code

The same game as an interactive Jupyter notebook — the quantum circuit runs on Qiskit, and you can change it.

▶ Open the notebook
~40 min · curious minds, workshop groups · runs in your browser, no account
Opens a free Jupyter session on mybinder.org (via QuBins) — starting it can take a few minutes
Prefer it local? git clone the repository, create the conda environment from environment.yml, and open GHZ-Game.ipynb.

Three players — Alice, Bob, and you — each receive a question and must answer without communicating. The rules are set up so that the best classical team strategy wins at most 75% of the rounds. Sharing three entangled qubits in a GHZ state, your team wins every single round.

This is not a trick and not statistics: it’s a game version of the experiments that ruled out “local hidden variables” as an explanation of quantum mechanics. The notebook walks you through playing the game, building the GHZ state with a few gates, and checking that the quantum strategy really is unbeatable.
