We introduce extended non-local games, a generalization of quantum games where a referee
Area of Science:
- Quantum Information Theory
- Quantum Game Theory
- Quantum Computing
Background:
- Non-local games are a key concept in quantum information theory.
- Existing frameworks do not fully capture scenarios involving referee measurements.
- Monogamy-of-entanglement games inspired this generalization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and study extended non-local games.
- To generalize existing non-local and monogamy-of-entanglement games.
- To analyze the computational complexity and optimal strategies in these new games.
Main Methods:
- Generalization of non-local game definitions.
- Extension of the Navascués-Pironio-Acín hierarchy.
- Analysis of semidefinite programming hierarchies.
Main Results:
- A natural extension of the Navascués-Pironio-Acín hierarchy converges to the optimal commuting measurement value.
- Two extensions of monogamy-of-entanglement game results are proven.
- The study establishes a computable upper bound for extended non-local games.
Conclusions:
- Extended non-local games provide a richer framework for studying quantum correlations.
- The developed hierarchy offers a powerful tool for analyzing these games.
- This work advances the understanding of quantum game theory and its applications.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
