The Beginning Infinity and the Mark Zender Interferometer
The mark zender interferometer is a quantum particle of light. It can be used to set up games that behave according to quantum theory. The photon and its path constitute an information medium they can encode a bit if the photon travels on the horizontal path it encodes a zero if it goes on the vertical path it encode a one but this would not lead us to a quantum game for exampleSomeone sets the photon to travel vertically or horizontally according to the output of a coin toss again the chances are a half are the player to guess correctly which path the photon is on.
