Abstract

In quantum version of the Battle of Sexes game recently suggested by Marinatto and Weber [Phys. Lett. A 272, 291 (2000)] the worst-case payoffs occur when `tactics' are mismatched for a particular initial quantum state or `initial strategy' in the scheme. We show that when a more general initial quantum state is used in this scheme the worst-case payoffs do not occur even for mismatched tactics.

Recently Quantum Battle of The Sexes Game has been studied by Luca Marinatto and Tullio Weber. Yet some important problems exist in their scheme. Here we propose a new scheme to quantize Battle of The Sexes Game, and this scheme will truly remove the dilemma that exists in the classical form of the game.

Abstract. We present the unique solution to the Quantum Battle of the Sexes game. We show the best result which can be reached when the game is played according to Marinatto and Weber’s scheme. The result which we put forward does not surrender the criticism of previous works on the same topic.

Quantum Battle of the Sexes Revisited

de Farias Neto, João José Neto

Several quantum versions of the battle of the sexes game are analyzed. Some of them are shown to reproduce the classical game. In some, there are no Nash quantum pure equilibria. In some others, the payoffs are always equal to each other. In others still, all equilibria favor Alice or Bob depending on a phase shift of the initial state of the system. Explicit detailed calculations are for the first time exhibited.

Dilemma and quantum battle of sexes

Ahmad Nawaz, A H Toor

We analysed quantum version of the game battle of sexes using a general initial quantum state. For a particular choice of initial entangled quantum state it is shown that the classical dilemma of the battle of sexes can be resolved and a unique solution of the game can be obtained.

Battle of the sexes game analysis using Yang-Baxter operator as quantum gate

Juan Manuel López R.

The Battle of the Sexes game is analyzed from quantum game theory using quantum initial states as possible strategies for two players. Quantum circuits are presented as schemes of development proposing also the use of Yang-Baxter operators as quantum gates in the circuits. This formalism is implemented using a Computer Algebra Software (CAS) due to its complex and long mathematical treatment. Payoff matrices of the players are given as the results for each case shown. Biology and finances applications are also proposed.
