Abstract The free rider problem is one of the most well studied problems in economics. The solution proposed mainly is punitive in order to deter people from free riding. In this work we introduce quantum strategies and also study the problem by using the mathematical structure of 1D Ising model in the infinite player limit. We observe that for maximum entanglement the quantum strategy is always the equilibrium solution, i.e., the strategy chosen by majority of the players independent of the payoffs, solving the free rider problem.
