Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? String Diagrams in Quantum Game Theory

Quantum game theory applies entanglement mechanisms to classical strategy game models. String diagrams are a graphical language which can be used to model quantum processes. This project will research how quantum strategy games can be modelled using the language of string diagrams.
