Abstract
Quantum platforms are nearing a scale where they will allow the realization of a vast number of quantum circuits. Some of these will solve computational problems of interest to industry and commerce, others will answer questions about quantum systems that we normally ask. But this will still leave much room for searching for entirely new quantum phenomena. In this talk I will describe some thinking on one concrete possibility - that of exploring quantum games - and on a general method for using these platforms in "discovery mode" much like the use of particle accelerators for discovering new particle physics.
