A survey of the current status of research on quantum games

Quantum games have gained considerable interest from researchers. In this paper, on the basis of the Web of Science database, through the use of the social network analysis methods, the literature on quantum games is analyzed from three aspects: the keywords co-occurrence, co-authorship, and co-citation. In the process of analysis, the main quantum game models are reviewed with graphical illustrations. Our paper provides a survey and outline of the current status of research in this field, and identify directions for future work.
