• Abstract: Local simultaneous state discrimination (LSSD) is a recently introduced problem in quantum information processing. Its classical version is a non-local game played by non-communicating players against a referee. Based on a known probability distribution, the referee generates one input for each of the players and keeps one secret value. The players have to guess the referee's value and win if they all do so. For this game, we investigate the advantage of no-signalling strategies over classical ones. We show numerically that for three players and binary values, no-signalling strategies cannot provide any improvement over classical ones. For a certain LSSD game based on a binary symmetric channel, we show that no-signalling strategies are strictly better when multiple simultaneous instances of the game are played. Good classical strategies for this game can be defined by codes, and good no-signalling strategies by list-decoding schemes. We expand this example game to a class of games defined by an arbitrary channel, and extend the idea of using codes and list decoding to define strategies for multiple simultaneous instances of these games. Finally, we give an expression for the limit of the exponent of the classical winning probability, and show that no-signalling strategies based on list-decoding schemes achieve this limit.

  We present a systematic investigation of the quantum games, constructed using a novel repeated game protocol. We find that how two pure strategies fare against each other is crucially dependent on the discount factor. In the quantum game setup, always-defect strategy can be beaten by the tit-for-tat strategy for high enough discount factor.

  We study a faithful translation of a two-player quantum Morra game, which builds on previous work by including the classical game as a special case. We propose a natural deformation of the game in the quantum regime in which Alice has a winning advantage, breaking the balance of the classical game. We discuss potential applications of the quantum Morra game to the study of quantum information and communication.

  In a nonlocal game, two noncommunicating players cooperate to convince a referee that they possess a strategy that does not violate the rules of the game. We show that our algorithm is capable of generating a short-depth circuit that implements an optimal quantum strategy for a graph coloring game.

  A classical mixed-strategy game is recovered by restricting the players' choices to specific spatial trajectories. We show that for players' directional choices for which the Bell-CHSH inequality is violated, the players' payoffs in the quantum game have no mapping within the classical mixed-strategy game.

  We focus on the problem of finding an optimal strategy for a team of two players that faces an opponent in an imperfect-information zero-sum extensive-form game. In that setting, it is known that the best the team can do is sample a profile of potentially randomized strategies (one per player) from a joint (a.k.a. correlated) probability distribution at the beginning of the game. We provide an algorithm that computes such an optimal distribution by only using profiles where only one of the team members gets to randomize in each profile.

  We consider a repeated sequential game between a learner, who plays first, and an opponent who responds to the chosen action. We propose a novel algorithm for the learner when playing against an adversarial sequence of opponents. Our results include algorithm's regret guarantees that depend on the regularity of the opponent's response.

• Efficient exploration of zero-sum stochastic games [83.28949556413717]
  We investigate the increasingly important and common game-solving setting where we do not have an explicit description of the game but only oracle access to it through gameplay. During a limited-duration learning phase, the algorithm can control the actions of both players in order to try to learn the game and how to play it well. Our motivation is to quickly learn strategies that have low exploitability in situations where evaluating the payoffs of a queried strategy profile is costly.
