Abstract

We use many-body entangled states to solve problems, that need coordinated action, better than classical approaches. The entangled state employed is the ground state of an integer quantum Hall state at filling factor 1. Our entangled state allows N players to make mutually exclusive choices from a menu of N choices. We show that our entangled state provides the best solution for a set of classical problems whose classical solutions are not ideal.
