Quantum games and quantum strategies

Quantum games and quantum strategies

March 16, 2020 | Jens Eisert, Martin Wilkens, Maciej Lewenstein
The paper by Jens Eisert, Martin Wilkens, and Maciej Lewenstein explores the quantization of non-zero sum games, focusing on the Prisoners' Dilemma. They demonstrate that quantum strategies can resolve the dilemma, where classical strategies often lead to mutual defection. The authors construct a specific quantum strategy that always yields a reward when played against any classical strategy. They introduce a physical model of the Prisoners' Dilemma using qubits and unitary operators, showing that quantum mechanics allows for new strategic possibilities. The study reveals that quantum strategies can lead to Pareto optimal outcomes, where no player can improve their payoff without reducing the other's, and that entanglement plays a crucial role in achieving these advantages. The research highlights the potential of quantum mechanics in solving complex strategic problems and suggests that quantum strategies can outperform classical ones in certain scenarios.The paper by Jens Eisert, Martin Wilkens, and Maciej Lewenstein explores the quantization of non-zero sum games, focusing on the Prisoners' Dilemma.
