Contribution
It offers an accessible overview tailored for economists, bridging quantum mechanics and game theory with minimal prerequisites.
Findings
Fundamental quantum mechanics problems can be formulated as games
Introduces quantum notation and results for non-physicists
Connects quantum mechanics concepts with strategic game analysis
Abstract
This essay gives a self-contained introduction to quantum game theory, and is primarily oriented to economists with little or no acquaintance with quantum mechanics. It assumes little more than a basic knowledge of vector algebra. Quantum mechanical notation and results are introduced as needed. It is also shown that some fundamental problems of quantum mechanics can be formulated as games.
