Quantum entanglement, indistinguishability, and the absent-minded driver’s problem
The absent-minded driver’s problem illustrates that probabilistic strategies can give higher pay-offs than deterministic ones. We show that there are strategies using quantum entangled states that give even higher pay-offs, both for the original problem and for the generalized version with an arbitrary number of intersections and any possible set of pay-offs. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملThe Absent-Minded Driver Problem Redux
Abstract This paper reconsiders the problem of the absent-minded driver who must choose between alternatives with different payoff with imperfect recall and varying degrees of knowledge of the system. The classical absent-minded driver problem represents the case with limited information and it has bearing on the general area of communication and learning, social choice, mechanism design, aucti...
متن کاملAbsent-Minded Drivers in the Lab: Testing Gilboa's Model
This note contributes to the discussion of decision problems with imperfect recall from an empirical point of view. We argue that, using standard methods of experimental economics, it is impossible to induce (or control for) absent–mindedness of subjects. Nevertheless, it is possible to test Gilboa’s (1997) agent–based approach to games with imperfect recall. We implement his model of the absen...
متن کاملThe Absent-Minded Driver
The example of the ‘‘absent-minded driver’’ was introduced by Piccione and Rubinstein in the context of games and decision problems with imperfect recall. They claim that a ‘‘paradox’’ or ‘‘inconsistency’’ arises when the decision reached at the ‘‘planning stage’’ is compared with that at the ‘‘action stage.’’ Though the example is provocative and worth having, their analysis is questionable. A...
