From the Blog 
When you give a typical computer a maze, it will go down Path A, then Path B, then Path C, and eventually, it will find the best available outcome. However, this is not the most efficient way to solve a maze; a quantum computer can go through every single outcome simultaneously and find the most efficient pathway more easily. The larger the maze becomes, the more time, value, and power a quantum computer can generate for its users. A quantum computer could solve a complex problem that might take a supercomputer one hundred years to solve in seconds.
Video games have been a changing industry as new games are produced yearly, some leading up to innovating the scene. Recently, an article was posted on BBC about how games are beginning to cut down the time it takes to finish the game.
