Abstract

We build a dynamic quantum Cournot duopoly game with isoelastic demand and heterogeneous players by applying Li et al.’s quantization scheme. We investigate the effects of quantum entanglement on equilibrium profits, equilibrium stability and nonlinear dynamics. We find the equilibrium profits increase as the entanglement level increases, under a specific condition. An increase in the entanglement level will decrease the stability region, and hasten the occurrence of nonlinear dynamics via flip bifurcation or Neimark–Sacker bifurcation.
