Quantum-Optical set-up for the Monty Hall problem
arXiv:1908.05774 · doi:10.1088/1402-4896/ab85fd
Abstract
A quantum version of the Monty Hall problem is proposed inspired by an experimentally-feasible, quantum-optical set-up that resembles the classical game. The expected payoff of the player is studied by analyzing the classical expectation values of the obtained quantum probabilities. Results are examined by considering both entanglement and non-entanglement between player and host, and using two different approaches: random and strategy-based. We also discuss the influence of noise on the game outcome when the parties play through a noisy quantum channel. The experimental set-up can be used to quickly verify the counter-intuitive result of the Monty Hall problem, adding pedagogic value to the proposal.
