}We show that quantum game theory offers an interesting solution to the famous Newcomb's paradox (free-will problem). Divine foreknowledge is not necessary for a successful completion of the game because quantum theory offers a way to discern human intentions in such a way that the human retain her/his free-will but cannot profit from changing decision. Possible interpretation in terms of quantum market games is proposed.

We investigate the quantization of non-zero sum games. For the particular case of the Prisoners' Dilemma we show that this game ceases to pose a dilemma if quantum strategies are allowed for. We also…

It is proved that in general a quantum strategy is always at least as good as a classical one, and furthermore that when both players use quantum strategies there need not be any equilibrium, but if both are allowed mixed quantum strategiesthere must be.
