Abstract
Quantum game theory offers a lot of interesting questions, and it is relevant to use the quantum information theory to resolve or improve games with lack of information : how to use the power of quantum entanglement to show the superiority of a quantum player that is allowed to use quantum mechanics versus a classical player, how to use quantum communication properties in cooperative games ... But games are also useful to make notions easier to understand, and permit to apprehend easier new ways of reasoning. The objective of this work is to formalize and to study a simple game with qubits using quantum notions of measurement and superposition but keeping a simple formalism so that knowing quantum mechanics is not necessary to play the game. We solve a quantum combinatorial game by giving a winning strategy for it. We also propose a quantisation of a family of combinatorial games.
