摘要: It has recently been realized that quantum strategies have a great advantage over classical ones in quantum games. However, quantum states are easily affected by the quantum noise, resulting in decoherence. In this paper, we investigate the effect of quantum noise on a multiplayer quantum game with a certain strategic space, with all players affected by the same quantum noise at the same time. Our results show that in a maximally entangled state, a special Nash equilibrium appears in the range of $0\leq p\leq0.622$  ($p$ is the quantum noise parameter), and then disappears in the range of 0.622

Abstract: It has recently been realized that quantum strategies have a great advantage over classical ones in quantum games. However, quantum states are easily affected by the quantum noise, resulting in decoherence. In this paper, we investigate the effect of quantum noise on a multiplayer quantum game with a certain strategic space, with all players affected by the same quantum noise at the same time. Our results show that in a maximally entangled state, a special Nash equilibrium appears in the range of $0\leq p\leq0.622$  ($p$ is the quantum noise parameter), and then disappears in the range of 0.622<p?1. Increasing the amount of quantum noise leads to the reduction of the quantum player's payoff.

Key words: entanglement, quantum game, quantum noise, Nash equilibrium
