A Quantum game: The Mermin-Peres magic square
I shall present a tutorial on a quantum game based on Mermin-Peres magic square. It is an example of a cooperative game of two non-communicating players, Alice and Bob, that need to fill a task orchestrated by a the antagonistic referee. No classical strategy allows Alice and Bob to win every round of the game. However, if Alice and Bob share quantum information they can win the game in every round. This is an example where a Quantum strategy making use of entanglement gives an advantage over any classical strategy. It is an also an example of what CS people call "Interactive multi-prover game systems" and what is called “contextuality of hidden variables” in quantum foundations.
