Abstract
Research in the field of quantum computation, in particular, quantum game theory is in its foundational stage. Primarily, quantum game theory adds a new dimension to the well - developed classical game theory by making possible the superposition of strategies. By projecting the classical Prisoner's Dilemma game into the quantum domain, experts in this regime proved that, for an ideally closed quantum system, superposed quantum strategies offer more promising alternatives and solutions than discrete classical ones for this peculiar game.
To present a more realistic picture of a quantum game system, this project seeks to examine the efficiency of quantum strategies in a less than perfect environment where decoherence of pure quantum states can occur. The findings advocate that quantum strategies remain superior to classical ones despite the deterioration of solutions due to decoherence.
