Introduction to Quantum Games and a Quantum Parrondo Game

  • Chapter
Advances in Dynamic Games

Part of the book series: Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games ((AISDG,volume 7))

Abstract

In this paper, we provide an introduction to quantum game theory through discussion of ways of converting classical games into the quantum regime. We illustrate how a quantum-based approach can simulate all possible classical game histories in parallel, for the example of Parrondo’s games.

Presented at the 9th International Symposium on Dynamic Games and Applications held in Adelaide, South Australia in December 18–21, 2000
