  • Possible uses of crisis situation aiding system in virtual world simulation

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2012

    Many of the real world crisis situations like spreading fire, hostile units attack, flood, and etc. are commonly used in computer games where a simulation of extensive virtual world is crucial. This paper presents some ideas for possible uses of existing crisis situation aiding system in such environments. Moreover it shows how this kind of system can be taught during subsequent games with a large number of players.

  • Experimental economics in business education: Using simple games to achieve multifaceted effects

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2014

    Economics differs from other sciences not only because of its normative part, but also because of very limited use of experiments. In this way, economics is often perceived as being methodologically more similar to astronomy or meteorology rather than physics or chemistry. Over last decades, however, experimental economics has been significantly developed. This chapter presents some of the possibilities for academic teachers to...

  • Linear game non-contextuality and Bell inequalities—a graph-theoretic approach

    Publikacja

    - NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS - Rok 2016

    We study the classical and quantum values of a class of one-and two-party unique games, that generalizes the well-known XOR games to the case of non-binary outcomes. In the bipartite case the generalized XOR(XOR-d) games we study are a subclass of the well-known linear games. We introduce a 'constraint graph' associated to such a game, with the constraints defining the game represented by an edge-coloring of the graph. We use the...

    Publikacja

    - Nature Communications - Rok 2018

    A physical theory is called non-local when observers can produce instantaneous effects over distant systems. Non-local theories rely on two fundamental effects: local uncertainty relations and steering of physical states at a distance. In quantum mechanics, the former one dominates the other in a well-known class of non-local games known as XOR games. In particular, optimal quantum strategies for XOR games are completely determined...
