Description

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 distinguished from It starts with the brief introduction to quantum theory (so one need not be educated in this field); the information and probabilistic counterparts will be highlighted. The motivations for quantum-like modeling will be presented and illustrated by applications to agents’ irrational behavior - disjunction and order effects. The latter in combination with another psychological effect, the response replicability effect, leads to the use of theory of quantum instruments. Quantum-like approach is used in biology, e.g., in genetics and epigenetics, for modeling adaptive dynamical interactions with environment, e.g., phenotype’s generation. Recently such models found applications in medical diagnostics of neurological diseases.
