    Games with unawareness model strategic situations in which players' perceptions about the game are limited. They take into account the fact that the players may be unaware of some of the strategies available to them or their opponents as well as the players may have a restricted view about the number of players participating in the game. The aim of the research is to introduce this notion into theory of quantum games. We shall focus on PQ Penny Flip game introduced by D. Meyer. We shall formalize the previous results and consider other cases of unawareness in the game

    We propose a formal model to explain the mutual influence between observed behavior and subjects' elicited beliefs in an experimental sequential prisoner's dilemma. Three channels of interaction can be identified in the data set and we argue that two of these effects have a non-classical nature as shown, for example, by a violation of the sure thing principle. Our model explains the three effects by assuming preferences and beliefs in the game to be complementary. We employ non-orthogonal subspaces of beliefs in line with the literature on positive-operator valued measure. Statistical fit of the model reveals successful predictions
