Coherence: Idle Quantum Computing Clicker

Introduction

Coherence: Idle Quantum Computing Clicker is a simulation game from developer dr-agoor in which quantum computing becomes an idle progression. The figures on screen arise from an underlying qubit simulation, covering the Bloch sphere, the probability of measuring |1>, and the state of an eight-qubit register. Era I centres on a single qubit: apply laser pulses, time measurements for bonuses, catch pi and pi/2 pulses for extra orders, and watch the count rate climb as Counts and Papers accumulate. Era II expands into a register where added qubits are linked by couplers, excitations hop along the chain, and entanglement matters. The aim is to find the coupling arrangement that carries an excitation cleanly from one end to the other. A Codex supports the learning side, offering formulas, your own figures, and notes on where the model simplifies reality. Following the physics is optional; the game can also be enjoyed as a numbers-go-up idle experience. Progress does not stop when you step away. Eras I and II make up the free browser demo, and the developer plans to extend the full version with quantum circuits, Grover search, noise, and error correction.

Games like Coherence: Idle Quantum Computing Clicker

• Universal Paperclips: Shares the staged incremental climb and the pull of watching output grow over a run.
• Cookie Clicker: Uses the same clicker and idle loop, where repeated actions feed ever-larger totals.
• Antimatter Dimensions: Centres on idle progression and expanding numerical scale, with a science-adjacent theme.

Similar picks are based on the public description and tags, not playtesting.

Who it is for

Good fit if you are:

• Idle game fans
• Physics enthusiasts
• Incremental players

May not suit:

• Players avoiding idle games
• Players wanting a full release

Highlights

• On-screen figures are tied to a qubit simulation, with Bloch sphere and |1> readings.
• Era I focuses on laser pulses, timed measurements, and a rising count rate.
• Era II introduces added qubits and couplers, with excitations moving along a chain.
• A Codex pairs physics formulas with your own figures and notes simplified physics.
• The simulation keeps advancing during time away from the game.
