Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum game implementation based on electron diffraction, emphasizing wave-based resources over entanglement.

Findings

Demonstrates a feasible setup for quantum Prisoners' Dilemma

Highlights wave association as an alternative quantum resource

Provides a new perspective on quantum game implementation

Abstract

A setup is proposed to play a quantum version of the famous bimatrix game of Prisoners' Dilemma. Multi-slit electron diffraction with each player's pure strategy consisting of opening one of the two slits at his/her disposal are essential features of the setup. Instead of entanglement the association of waves with travelling material objects is suggested as another resource to play quantum games.
