Abstract

The spread of rumors involves strategic interactions among governments, media, and the public, influencing societal equilibrium. Traditional models often overlook the complexity of these dynamics. This study innovatively applies quantum game theory to model the tripartite interaction during the propagation of rumors. It examines strategy choices, quantum entanglement effects, and the impact of initial states on equilibrium, using hypothetical numerical simulations. The analysis reveals a mix of cooperation and competition among the three parties. Key findings highlight how quantum parameters and entanglement influence outcomes, offering theoretical and practical insights for policymakers, media accuracy, and public information dissemination to foster a healthier information environment.
