RIKEN Quantum Workshop on “Quantum-Like Modeling” in Cognitive & Social Sciences
Prospectus
Recently, there has been a growing trend to consider cognitive, and social phenomena as Open Quantum Systems, and to mathematically define the fundamental principles behind them through so-called “Quantum-Like Modeling”. It has been extremely difficult to systematically explain complexities of such phenomena within humans’ cognitive traits based on classical “rational” reasoning. Quantum-Like Modeling suggests that using quantum probability calculus and its applications could be useful to rationalize such phenomena and expand previous understandings, obtained through simple linear algebra, by applying quantum formalizations. Just as physicists explored a new branch of mathematics, the theory of operators in complex Hilbert space, to describe the quantum phenomena in an effective way, considerations here will be built on the methodology and mathematical apparatus of quantum theory and directed to applications outside of physics, namely to, cognition, psychology, decision-making, economics, finances, as well as the social and political sciences.
