英文摘要：

We consider a slightly modified version of the Rock-Scissors-Paper (RSP) game from the point of view of evolutionary stability. In its classical version the game has a mixed Nash equilibrium (NE) not stable against mutants. We find a quantized version of the RSP game for which the classical mixed NE becomes stable.

Multiple Nash-equilibrium in Quantum Game

Methods of exploring Nash equilibrium in quantum games are studied. Analytical conditions of the existence, the uniqueness or the multiplicity of the equilibria are found.

Nash Equilibrium in the Quantum Battle of Sexes Game

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.

Generalized Quantum Games with Nash Equilibrium

We define generalized quantum games by introducing the coherent payoff operators and propose a simple scheme to illustrate it. The scheme is implemented with a single spin qubit system and two entangled qubit system. The Nash Equilibrium Theorem is proved for the models.

Nash embedding and equilibrium in pure quantum states

With respect to probabilistic mixtures of the strategies in non-cooperative games, quantum game theory provides guarantee of fixed-point stability, the so-called Nash equilibrium. This permits players to choose mixed quantum strategies that prepare mixed quantum states optimally under constraints. In this letter, we show that fixed-point stability of Nash equilibrium can also be guaranteed for pure quantum strategies via an application of the Nash embedding theorem, permitting players to prepare pure quantum states optimally under constraints.

No fixed-point guarantee of Nash equilibrium in quantum games

The theory of quantum games permits players to choose strategies that prepare and measure quantum states. Whereas conventional game theory provides guarantees for fixed-point stability in non-cooperative games, so-called Nash equilibria, we find this guarantee is not provided for quantum games. In particular, we show the conditions for Glickberg's fixed-point theorem do not apply to pure quantum games when the payoff is a physical observable. We further show that Nash equilibrium can be guaranteed when the payoff is defined with respect to state preparation.

Quantum Nash equilibrium in the thermodynamic limit

The quantum Nash equilibrium in the thermodynamic limit is studied for games like quantum Prisoner's dilemma and the quantum game of chicken. A phase transition is seen in both games as a function of the entanglement in the game. We observe that for maximal entanglement irrespective of the classical payoffs, a majority of players choose Quantum strategy over Defect in the thermodynamic limit.

Nash equilibrium quantum states and optimal quantum data classification

This letter reports a novel application of game theory to quantum informational processes which can be used to optimally classify data generated by these processes. To this end, the notion of simultaneously distinguishing a pure quantum state, generated by a quantum informational process, from its constituent observable states optimally - given the constraint of these observables being orthogonal to each other, is first introduced. This problem is solved via a non-cooperative game model and the affiliated solution concept of Nash equilibrium. The notion of Nash equilibrium quantum states is in…
