Abstract
Recently, Physics and Computer Science have both contributed to the field of Game Theory. The first by introducing quantum information concepts into the strategy set of the players and the second by giving methods to estimate the efficiency of equilibria and formalizing “network games”. This work will aim to be a first step towards the merging of those existing ideas, by studying the behavior of players in a quantum network. It will focus on two classes of network games: formation and congestion games, showing that in some cases “classical” examples of inefficiency fail if players use quantum strategies.
