In this research article, we survey existing quantum physics-related games and, based on this survey, propose a definition for the concept of quantum games. We define a quantum game as any type of rule-based game that either employs the principles of quantum physics or references quantum phenomena or the theory of quantum physics through any of three proposed dimensions: the perceivable dimension of quantum physics, the dimension of quantum technologies, and the dimension of scientific purposes, such as citizen science or education. We also discuss the concept of quantum computer games, which are games on quantum computers, as well as definitions for the concept of science games. Various games explore quantum physics and quantum computing through digital, analogue, and hybrid means, with various incentives driving their development. As interest in games as educational tools for supporting quantum literacy grows, understanding the diverse landscape of quantum games becomes increasingly important. We propose that the three dimensions of quantum games identified in this article be used for designing, analysing, and defining the phenomenon of quantum games.
在这篇研究文章中，我们调查了现有的与量子物理相关的游戏，并基于此调查为量子游戏的概念提出了一个定义。我们将量子游戏定义为任何一种基于规则的游戏，它要么运用量子物理原理，要么通过三个提出的维度中的任何一个来参考量子现象或量子物理理论：量子物理的可感知维度、量子技术维度以及科学目的维度，如公民科学或教育。我们还讨论了量子计算机游戏的概念，即量子计算机上的游戏，以及科学游戏概念的定义。各种游戏通过数字、模拟和混合手段探索量子物理和量子计算，有各种激励因素推动它们的发展。随着作为支持量子素养的教育工具的游戏的兴趣日益增长，了解量子游戏的多样化格局变得越来越重要。我们建议将本文中确定的量子游戏的三个维度用于设计、分析和定义量子游戏现象。
