Quantum mechanism helps agents combat "bad" social choice rules

TL;DR

This paper extends mechanism design into the quantum domain, showing that quantum mechanisms enable agents to counteract undesirable social choice rules, thus broadening the scope of quantum game theory applications.

Contribution

It introduces a quantum generalization of mechanism design, demonstrating how quantum strategies can help agents overcome bad social choice rules, a novel approach in the intersection of quantum physics and economics.

Findings

Quantum mechanisms enable agents to combat bad social choice rules.

The theory of mechanism design is extended into the quantum domain.

Agents satisfying certain conditions can leverage quantum strategies to improve outcomes.

Abstract

Quantum strategies have been successfully applied to game theory for years. However, as a reverse problem of game theory, the theory of mechanism design is ignored by physicists. In this paper, the theory of mechanism design is generalized to a quantum domain. The main result is that by virtue of a quantum mechanism, agents who satisfy a certain condition can combat "bad" social choice rules instead of being restricted by the traditional mechanism design theory.
