The Kolkata Paise Restaurant Problem is a challenging game, in which $n$ agents must decide where to have lunch during their lunch break. The game is very interesting because there are exactly $n$ restaurants and each restaurant can…

The $N$-player quantum game is analyzed in the context of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiment. In this setting, a player's strategies are not unitary transformations as in alternate quantum game-theoretic frameworks, but a classical…
