Quantum Diplomacy

A serious game that explores how we collaboratively make decisions about future technologies The year is 2035. Large-scale quantum computing has been achieved, but the costs of running these systems are still too high for general commercial use. Quantum computers are capable of processing vast amounts of data faster than conventional computers, making them suited for complex, computationally-expensive tasks. Several nation states have quantum computer systems operated by research institutions, but the technology is still inaccessible for most.

This serious game will take participants through an international negotiation process to attempt to agree upon a way to harness this technology. Your game facilitators will be Dr Jessamy Perriam and Thomas Biedermann.

This KNoT requires a minimum of 15 participants to go ahead and is capped at 30 participants. Please RSVP by Friday the 17th of April so we can prepare materials ahead of the session.
