Qubit

Qubit is a city that cannot be mapped. Its location is a probability distribution. When you look for the Town Hall, it is both there and not there simultaneously. The streets shift and superimpose themselves upon one another, creating a haze of potentiality. To navigate Qubit, one does not use a compass—for magnetic fields here are easily jammed or spoofed—but a quantum sensor, a device that detects the subtle gravitational pull of the city's true state.

The inhabitants are workforce of the future, training for jobs that do not yet exist. They speak of "entanglement" as if it were a local transit system. They do not build with bricks but with "states." A building in Qubit is stable only as long as it is observed; turn your back, and it dissolves into a cloud of mathematical noise.

The city is a desperate attempt to build a foundation on the shifting sands of the subatomic. The citizens know that the old world—the binary world of Yes and No—is ending. They are preparing for an age of Maybe, where the only way to be safe is to be everywhere at once.
