Pure entangled states have been used, in both common and conflict interest games, to gain advantageous payoffs, both at the individual and social level. In this paper, we construct a game for a mixed entangled state such that this state gives higher payoffs than classically possible, both at the individual level and the social level. Also, we use the I-3322 inequality so that states that aren’t useful advice for the Bell-CHSH<sup>1</sup> inequality can also be used. Finally, the measurement setting we use is a restricted social welfare strategy (given this particular state).展开更多
