Quantum-Optical set-up for the Monty Hall problem

A quantization scheme for the Monty Hall problem is proposed inspired by an experimentally-feasible, quantum-optical set-up that resembles the classical game. The expected payoff of the player is studied from a frequentist perspective by analyzing the classical expectation values of the obtained quantum probabilities. Results are examined considering both entanglement and non-entanglement between player and host, and using two different approaches: random and strategy-based. A potential application to secure communications of this quantization scheme and its results is also briefly discussed.
