In Quantum Games, There’s No Way to Play the Odds

This way of thinking about nonlocal games—based on order independence instead of spatial separation—is called the “commuting operator” model. Computer scientists can use the tensor-product model to calculate a floor for the maximum-win probability of nonlocal games. This puts mathematicians and computer scientists in a three-birds-with-one-stone kind of situation: By proving that the tensor product and commuting operator models are equivalent, they’d simultaneously generate an algorithm for computing approximate maximum-win probabilities and also establish the truth of the Connes embedding conjecture.
