Abstract :

S. J. van Enk and R. Pike in PRA 66, 024306 (2002), argue that the equilibrium solution to a quantum game isn't unique but is already present in the classical game itself. In this work, we debunk this assertion by showing that a random strategy in a particular quantum (Hawk-Dove) game is unique to the quantum game. In other words the equilibrium solution of the quantum Hawk-Dove game cannot be obtained in the classical Hawk-Dove game. Moreover, we provide an analytical solution to the quantum 2�?�?2 strategic form Hawk-Dove game using random mixed strategies. The random strategies which we describe are evolutionary stable implying both Pareto optimality and Nash equilibrium with their payoff's classically unobtainable.
