Abstract

Effects of classical/quantum correlations and operations in simultaneous move games are analyzed using a discoordination game, known as Samaritan's dilemma, in which there is no Nash equilibrium (NE) when played with classical pure strategies. We show that although the dilemma can be resolved with quantum operations provided that there is a shared classically correlated state between the players, it is only in the presence of entanglement that the players can receive the highest possible payoff sums.
