Improving the payoffs of cooperators in three-player cooperative game using weak measurements

In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to improve the payoffs of cooperators in cooperative three-player quantum game under the action of amplitude damping, bit flip and depolarizing channels using weak measurements. It is shown that the payoffs of cooperators can be enhanced to a great extent in the case of amplitude damping channel, and the payoff sudden death can be avoided in the case of bit flip and depolarizing channels. Moreover, the payoffs of cooperators tend to a constant by changing weak measurement strength in spite of sufficiently strong decoherence.
