Description

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 quantum instrument model in cognitive science by implementing it on a quantum computer.

Emori is a PhD student at Hokkaido University and RIKEN Student Researcher. His research is based on quantum measurement theory, focusing on the foundations of quantum physics, quantum information, and cognitive science. In particular, he advances his research through both theoretical and experimental approaches, using quantum computers as simulators of quantum systems.
