• Abstract: Game theory studies strategic decision-making among rational agents, and many classical games can be mapped onto interaction models such as the Ising model. Quantum game theory extends this framework by allowing players to exploit quantum superposition and entanglement. In this work, we study quantum games using an operator-based formulation derived from the transverse-field quantum Ising model. We show that the Hamiltonian-driven dynamics naturally generate entangling operator which resolve the dilemma in the game settings. This leads to a clear quantum advantage over classical outcomes. Unlike standard quantization schemes based on fixed entangling gates, the present approach enables tunable entanglement, controlled directly by physical Hamiltonian parameters, providing a hardware-relevant perspective on quantum game design.

  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.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
