Abstract

Recent developments in quantum computation and quantum information theory allow one to extend the scope of game theory for the quantum world. The authors have recently proposed a quantum description of financial market in terms of quantum game theory. This paper contains an analysis of such markets that shows that there are advantages to be gained from using quantum computers and quantum strategies.
