Abstract

We investigate the 3-player quantum Prisoner’s Dilemma with a certain strategic space, a particular Nash equilibrium that can remove the original dilemma is found. Based on this equilibrium, we show that the game is enhanced by the entanglement of its initial state.

Study of Nash equilibrium by increasing game parameters in 3-player quantum game

H. Goudarzi, Sohrab Minaei Beirami

Using the quantum game formalism in 3-player system, we calculate the Nash equilibrium in quantum Prisoners’ Dilemma by increasing parameters of unitary operator. Since, the entanglement plays an important role in quantum states of particles quantum game, actually its effect on the obtained results of Nash equilibrium is investigated. It is shown that increasing the parameters enhances the game payoff function.

The Superiority of Quantum Strategy in 3-Player Prisoner’s Dilemma

Zhiyuan Dong, Ai‐Guo Wu

In this paper, we extend the quantum game theory of Prisoner’s Dilemma to the N-player case. The final state of quantum game theory of N-player Prisoner’s Dilemma is derived, which can be used to investigate the payoff of each player. As demonstration, two cases (2-player and 3-player) are studied to illustrate the superiority of quantum strategy in the game theory. Specifically, the non-unique entanglement parameter is found to maximize the total payoff, which oscillates periodically. Finally, the optimal strategic set is proved to depend on the selection of initial states.

The effect of quantum noise on multiplayer quantum game

Cao Shuai, Fang Mao-Fa, Zheng Xiao-Juan

It has recently been realized that quantum strategies have a great advantage over classical ones in quantum games. However, quantum states are easily affected by the quantum noise, resulting in decoherence. In this paper, we investigate the effect of quantum noise on a multiplayer quantum game with a certain strategic space, with all players affected by the same quantum noise at the same time. Our results show that in a maximally entangled state, a special Nash equilibrium appears in the range of 0≤p≤0.622 (p is the quantum noise parameter), and then disappears in the range of 0.622<p≤1. Increasing the amount of quantum noise leads to the reduction of the quantum player's payoff.

Prisoner's Dilemma in Quantum Perspective

Charnaditya Padakandla Venkata

It is known that quantum strategies change the range of possible payoffs for the players in the prisoner's dilemma. In this paper, we examine the effect of the degree of entanglement in determining the payoffs. When both players play quantum strategies, we show that the payoff for both players is unaffected by the entanglement value and it leads to a new Nash equilibrium.

Quantum game theory is a recently developing field of physical research. In this paper, we investigate quantum games in a systematic way. With the famous instance of the Prisoner's Dilemma, we present the fascinating properties of quantum games in different conditions, i.e. different number of the players, different strategic space of the players and different amount of the entanglement involved.

How Quantum Prisoner’s Dilemma Can Support Negotiations

M. Szopa

Decision-making by the two negotiating parties is simulated by a prisoner's dilemma game.The game is formulated in a quantum manner, where players strategies are unitary transformations of qubits built over the basis of opposite decision options.Quantum strategies are correlated through the mechanism of quantum entanglement and the result of the game is obtained by the collapse of the resulting transformed state.The range of strategies allowed for quantum players is richer than in case of a classical game and therefore the result of the game can be better optimized.On the other hand, the quantum game is save against eavesdropping and the players can be assured that this type of quantum arbitration is fair.We show that quantum prisoner's dilemma has more favorable Nash equilibria than its classical analog and they are close to the Pareto optimal solutions.Some economical examples of utilizing quantum game Nash equilibria are proposed.
