Abstract
We regard the Newcomb's Paradox as a reduction of the Prisoner's Dilemma and search for the considerable quantum solution. The all known classical solutions to the Newcomb's problem always imply that human has freewill and is due to the unfair set-up(including strategies)of the Newcomb's Problem. In this reason, we here substitute the asymmetric payoff matrix to the general form of the payoff matrix M and consider both of them use the same quantum strategy. As a result we obtained the fair Nash equilibrium, which is better than the case using classical strategies. This means that whether the supernatural being has the precognition or not depends only on the choice of strategy.
