Quantum Strategies for Rendezvous and Domination Tasks on Graphs with Mobile Agents

Abstract

This paper explores the application of quantum non-locality, a renowned and unique phenomenon acknowledged as a valuable resource. Focusing on a novel application, we demonstrate its quantum advantage for mobile agents engaged in specific distributed tasks without communication. The research addresses the significant challenge of rendezvous on graphs and introduces a new distributed task for mobile agents grounded in the graph domination problem. Through an investigation across various graph scenarios, we showcase the quantum advantage. Additionally, we scrutinize deterministic strategies, highlighting their comparatively lower efficiency compared to quantum strategies. The paper concludes with a numerical analysis, providing further insights into our findings.
