Abstract

We investigate the influence of the Unruh effect on the quantum Battle of the Sexes (BOF). We show that the acceleration of a noninertial frame greatly affects the payoffs of the players. In the case of Battle of the Sexes, the Nash Equilibra in the inertial frame may be equilibrium but in other games this conclusion may not be true anymore. Furthermore, we also show that the new Nash Equilibria of the game played in the noninertial frame and the probability distributions of the players in the new Nash Equilibria vary with the acceleration of moving player and the degree of entanglement in the initial state shared by the players.

Quantum Stackelberg Duopoly in a Noninertial Frame

Salman Khan, M. Khalid Khan

We study the influence of the Unruh effect on quantum Stackelberg duopoly. It is shown that the acceleration of a noninertial frame strongly affects the payoffs of the Arms. The validation of the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium is limited to a particular range of acceleration of the noninertial frame. The benefit of the initial state entanglement in the quantum form of the duopoly in the inertial frame is adversely affected by the acceleration. The duopoly can become a follower advantage only in a small region of the acceleration.

Effect of uniform acceleration on multiplayer quantum game

H. Goudarzi, S Beyrami

We investigate the influence of the Unruh effect on three-qubit quantum games. In particular, we interpret the quantum Prisoners' Dilemma, which is a famous, non-zero sum game both for entangled and unentangled initial states and show that the acceleration of non-inertial frames disturbs the symmetry of the game. Using the various strategies, the novel Nash equilibrium is obtained at infinite acceleration ( r = π/4). As a remarkable point, it is shown that in our three-player system, in contrast to the two-player quantum game in non-inertial frames (see Khan et al 2011 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 355302), there is not a dominant strategy (even classical strategy) in the game and choosing the quantum strategy by each player can be the dominant strategy depending on the kind of strategy chosen by others. Since the entangled states of particles play an important role in the quantum game, finally we argue that the results of the players depend on the degree of entanglement in the initial state of the game.

Nash Equilibrium in the Quantum Battle of Sexes Game

Jiangfeng Du, Xiaodong Xu, Li, Hui +2 more

We investigate Nash Equilibrium in the quantum Battle of Sexes Game. We find the game has infinite Nash Equilibria and all of them leads to the asymmetry result. We also show that there is no unique but infinite Nash Equilibrium in it if we use the quantizing scheme proposed by Eisert et al and the two players are allowed to adopt any unitary operator as his/her strategies.

Noisy Relativistic Quantum Games in Noninertial Frames

Salman Khan, Majid Khan

The influence of noise and of Unruh effect on quantum Prisoners’ dilemma is investigated both for entangled and unentangled initial states. The noise is incorporated through amplitude damping channel. For unentangled initial state, the decoherence compensates for the adverse effect of acceleration of the frame and the effect of acceleration becomes irrelevant provided the game is fully decohered. It is shown that the inertial player always out scores the noninertial player by choosing defection. For maximally entangled initially state, we show that for fully decohered case every strategy profile results in either of the two possible equilibrium outcomes. Two of the four possible strategy profiles become Pareto optimal and Nash equilibrium and no dilemma is leftover. It is shown that other equilibrium points emerge for different region of values of decoherence parameter that are either Pareto optimal or Pareto inefficient in the quantum strategic spaces. It is shown that the Eisert et al. (Phys Rev Lett 83:3077, 1999) miracle move is a special move that leads always to distinguishable results compare to other moves. We show that the dilemma like situation is resolved in favor of one player or the other.

The effect of entanglement and non-inertial frame on four-qubit quantum game

S. S. Rashidi, H. Goudarzi

The effect of increasing quantum bits and Unruh effect on quantum Prisoners’ dilemma has been investigated for both entangled and unentangled initial states. The Nash equilibrium, as an important result of quantum game theory, was obtained through the different payoffs resulted from choosing various strategies. It has been shown that the non-inertial frame disturbs the symmetry of the game. Actually, selection of the basic quantum strategy by players and calculating the payoff of the game via the density matrix of 4-qubit quantum states can represent a scale of influence of entanglement in a quantum mechanical system
