Entanglement in the Quantum Volunteer's Dilemma (opens in new tab)

A well-known model in game theory, the Volunteer's Dilemma describes a group of $n$ players who decide whether to volunteer for a collective benefit at a personal cost, or to abstain and risk forfeiting the benefit altogether. A quantum version of this dilemma, developed within the Eisert-Wilkens-Lewenstein framework, allows each player to manipulate one qubit of a shared entangled state, leading to symmetric Nash equilibria with higher expected...
