Guiding Agents of Quantum Games to Equilibrium using Matrix Exponential Fixed-Point Iteration
In recent years, quantum game theory has gained significant attention as a framework for studying decision-making in multi-agent systems using quantum principles. However, computing equilibrium strategies is challenging because the dimension of the joint Hilbert space grows as the product of the players' local dimensions. In this paper, we consider an extended Gutoski-Watrous (EGW) game in which each player's quantum strategy is represented by a local density matrix. We derive tensor-contraction expressions for the payoff functions and their gradients, thereby avoiding the explicit construction of the full joint density matrix and its computationally expensive multiplication by the payoff...
