This tutorial will explore the intersection of quantum control, game theory, and AI deception, emphasizing their role in advancing secure and strategic decision-making. It will examine the role of control in enabling reliable quantum information processing, where precise manipulation of quantum states underpins robust computation and communication. It will also demonstrate how to transition to strategic frameworks that extend beyond classical paradigms, showing how quantum games unlock new possibilities for interaction and deception. 

The discussion then expands to adaptive AI systems, where deception naturally arises from incentive misalignment and incomplete information, and equilibrium and control principles provide mechanisms for regulation. Information asymmetry emerges as a key factor in deception across domains like quantum networks and adversarial environments. By emphasizing this principle, the tutorial establishes a solid foundation for designing resilient architectures and capitalizing on strategic advantages in both quantum and AI-driven contexts.

The tutorial will feature a list of renowned researchers in control theory, game theory, artificial intelligence, quantum information science, and cyber-physical security.
