Source abstract

The quantum nn-coloring problem, given graph GG, asks whether there exists a perfect quantum strategy for the nn-coloring game of GG. Previously it was known that quantum nn-coloring is undecidable only for n=3n=3. We extend this to all n≥3n\geq 3 with one elementary reduction. Letting G′=(G□K3)∨Kn−3G'=(G\square K_3)\lor K_{n-3}, we show that GG is quantum 33-colorable if and only if G′G' is quantum nn-colorable.
