Abstract

In this note, I attempt to explore the quantum Colonel Blotto game and contrast it with the classical Colonel Blotto game; in particular, I will focus on an exemplary case where the quantum payoff does not agree with the classical payoff at classical limits, i.e., when both players play classical strategies. Some insightful discussion on the nature of the quantum version of the game and their interpretation are also stated.
