Quantum games and quantum strategies — •Jens Eisert¹, Martin Wilkens¹, and Maciej Lewenstein² — ¹Institut für Physik, Universität Potsdam, 14469 Potsdam, Germany — ²Institut für theoretische Physik, Universität Hannover, 30167 Hannover, Germany

Some scenarios in quantum information theory can be conceived as competitive situations where two or more parties with opposed or at best mixed motives interact. Situations of this type are characteristic for problems of game theory which deals with the mathematical analysis of conflicts. We investigate the connection between quantum information theory and game theory and discuss an illustrative example in detail.
