Quantum is a color vector arcade video game developed at General Computer Corporation for Atari, Inc. and released in November 1982.[2] It was designed by Betty Ryan (née Tylko) who was the first female developer at GCC.[3] The premise of the game is related loosely to quantum physics; the player directs a probe with a trackball to encircle atomic "particles" for points, without touching various other particles. Once the particles are surrounded by the probe's tail they are destroyed.
