QUANTUM INFORMATION APPROACH TO NORMAL REPRESENTATION OF EXTENSIVE GAMES

Abstract

We modify the concept of quantum strategic game to make it useful for extensive form games. We prove that our modification allows us to consider the normal representation of any finite extensive game using the fundamental concepts of quantum information. The Selten's Horse game and the general form of two-stage extensive game with perfect information are studied to illustrate a potential application of our idea. In both examples we use the Eisert–Wilkens–Lewenstein approach as well as the Marinatto–Weber approach to quantization of games.
