Why Quantum Games?
� Attempt to understand the source of the advantages of quantum computation.
� Quantum algorithms as games.� Which problems are solvable more efficiently using quantum
algorithms?
� Quantum communication as a game.� The objective is to maximize effective communication
� Quantum cryptography as a game� Eve’s objective is to learn the contents of the conversation.

Coin Flip – Bad Example?
� Can be implemented classically – not an example for superiority of a quantum player (S.J. van Enk, 2000).
� Classical implementations are not scalable – quantum implementations are (D.A. Meyer, 2000).
� It’s like losing a game of chess and saying: “If we would have played on a larger board, I would have won”. (S.J. van Enk, 2000).

2x2 Games
� 2 players
� Each has the choice between 2 pure strategies.
� The choice has to be made without communication, and before knowing the opponent’s chosen move.
� The payoff matrix is known.
� Assumptions on the players:
� Rationality - Players aim to maximize their payoffs
� Each player knows that other players are rational

� If both confess - both will besentenced to six years.
� If one confesses but the otherdoes not, then the confessor willbe released, but the other will besentenced to jail for nine years.

PD – Third Version� Two cyclists halfway in a race, with the rest of the
cyclists far behind them.
� Each has two options: Taking the lead, where there is no shelter from the wind (C), or staying behind and riding in the other’s slipstream (D).
� If they both make no effort to stay ahead, the rest of the cyclists will catch up. If one takes the lead, he works much harder and the other cyclist is likely to win.

� Each player manipulates his qubit according to his chosen move.
� At the end, both qubits are measured using a predetermined known basis.
� The expected payoff is determined accordingto the payoff matrix:

� Proof that [Q,Q] is an equilibrium:

� the same argument holds for every strategy of Bob,
when Alice uses Q.

(the set of general local unitary operations):
� For every move of Bob (where a,b,c,d are
appropriate complex numbers), there exists a move for

41
� There exist probabilities and unitary operators s.t.:

� Focal points are outcomes which are distinguished from others on the basis of some characteristics which are not included in the formalism of the model. Those characteristics may distinguish an outcome as a result of some psychological or social process and may even seem trivial, such as the names of the actions.
� If there are more that one NEs and one of them can be considered a focal equilibrium, then it is the one that will be chosen.
� The NE is [R,R]

43
� Can we say we have cracked the prisoners’ dilemma?
The solution [D,D] is not a NE anymore!
� The effect of Q can be described classically:
� If Alice chooses Q and Bob chooses C or D then his choice is changed to the one he didn’t pick (and vice versa).
� If both choose Q – the payout is as if both cooperated.

� In non-cooperative games players are not allowed to communicate, and the use of correlated random variables is not allowed.Letting Alice and Bob use an entangled state, means they are using the correlations present in such a state.This goes against the spirit of the prisoners’ dilemma.

2x2 Games With Entanglement
� Before each player makes his move we apply an entangling operation to the qubits.
� We would like the classic game to be a sub-game of the quantum one. Hence:
� After the players make their moves, we will apply .

2x2 Games With Entanglement
� With the entangling operator:
we can control the level of entanglement.
� - No entanglement.
� - Maximally entangled state.
� Is there a critical level of entanglement, below which the quantum player has no advantage over the classical player?
