2. Tutorial. Ubiquitous Quantum: from genetics and biological evolution to cognition, psychology, decision making, and social science

Andrei Khrennikov (Linnaeus Univ.)

This is introduction to quantum-like modeling, applications of the methodology and formalism of quantum theory outside of physics, in cognition, psychology, decision making, social and political sciences, economics and finance, genetics and evolutionary biology. It is important to point out that systems under consideration are macroscopic. So, quantum-like theory should be sharply...

3. Quantum Instrument -- Measurement to cognition with QC-simulation

The successful modeling of compatibility of the question order effect and the response replicability effect in opinion polls opens a new research field in which quantum instrument theory unifies quantum measurement and quantum cognition with quantum computer simulation.

4. Applications of quantum computers to cognitive sciences based on Quantum Instrument

Haruki Emori (Hokkaido Univ.)

When people are asked a series of questions, the response statistics are affected by the question-order effect and the response-replication effect. The quantum instrument model, which was originally developed as a universal mathematical model of quantum measurements, has been proposed as a model to simultaneously explain these two effects. In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the...

5. Subjective Experiences and Superposition State in Narrative Reading

Miho Fuyama (Ritsumeikan Univ.)

11/10/2024, 16:30

In literary studies, it has been suggested that the indeterminacy of interpretation during narrative reading evokes a reader's aesthetic sense and immersion. This study modeled interpretive states with indeterminacy as a superposition using quantum probability theory, and conducted empirical research to explore how this superposition relates to subjective experiences, including transportation....
