Pulse, A Crowdsourced Quantum Feedback Game (Built by Noro)
What is Pulse?
Pulse is a browser-based game where players rescue noisy quantum computers by fixing errors and restoring logical qubits.
Every move players make generates real-world data that will train AI decoders and improve quantum error correction strategies for actual quantum hardware.
Pulse is not just a game.
It is a living scientific experiment, a platform for evolving quantum feedback control using human intuition.
Think Foldit, but for the quantum future.
Who We Are Looking For:
- A browser-focused game developer who can build:
- Intuitive player interfaces
- Real-time scoring, progression systems, achievements
- Basic backend data logging for player sessions
- Suggested stack (flexible):
- Streamlit, Gradio, Flask/React
- Plotly or Three.js for visualization
- Firebase/Supabase/SQLite for session data
- Interest in educational, serious, or scientific games is a plus, but not required.
- Curiosity about quantum computing or AI is highly valued.
Commitment and Compensation:
Volunteer/Portfolio Role:
- Full credits on the website and GitHub
- Potential co-authorship on future scientific publications
- Incentive-Based, given approximately 20-30% of revenue of the game
Paid Contract Option:
- Modest MVP Project Fee ($1,500–$2,500 depending on final scope)
- Payment distributed based on project milestones
Timeline (Up to Debate)
- MVP Build: July 2025
- Alpha Player Study Launch: August 2025
- Public Beta Launch: October 2025
Why Join Pulse?
- Build something real, impactful, and cutting-edge
- Work on a serious project blending quantum computing, machine learning, and human gameplay
- Gain high-visibility experience in scientific game design
- Potential contribution to future research papers, academic conferences, or NSF projects
- Join the founding circle of a global education and research movement
How to Apply:
Send an email to erickim1492@gmail.com
Subject: "Pulse Developer Application"
Include:
- Your name
- 1–2 previous projects or links (Any of the following: GitHub, itch.io, personal website, resume)
- A short paragraph about why this project interests you (You can GPT it, I just want to know what you bring to the table)
Additional Note:
If you have ever wished you contributed to pioneering scientific games like Foldit, Eterna, or Eyewire, this is your opportunity to shape the next wave of scientific crowdsourcing through human-machine collaboration.
Let us build the future of quantum education and error correction.
