Findings

Quantum voting rules QLV and QLN are more scalable.

Both rules can be implemented with current technology.

Quantum voting offers enhanced fairness and expressiveness.

Abstract

We designed two rules of binary quantum computed vote: Quantum Logical Veto (QLV) and Quantum Logical Nomination (QLN). The conjunction and disjunction from quantum computational logic are used to define QLV and QLN, respectively. Compared to classical vote, quantum computed vote is fairer, more democratic and has stronger expressive power. Since the advantage of quantum computed vote is neither the speed of computing nor the security of communication, we believe it opens a new battlefield in the second quantum revolution. Compared to other rules of quantum computed vote, QLV and QLN have better scalability. Both QLV and QLN can be implemented by the current technology and the difficulty of implementation does not grow with the increase of the number of voters.
