Quantum Measurement, Entanglement and the Warping Mechanism of Human Perception
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Sandro Sozzo
We prove that the quantum measurement process contains the same warping mechanism that occurs in categorical perception, a phenomenon ubiquitous in human perception. This warping c…
Are Colors Quanta of Light for Human Vision? A Quantum Cognition Study of Visual Perception
Jonito Aerts Arguëlles
We show that colors are light quanta for human visual perception in a similar way as photons are light quanta for physical measurements of light waves. Our result relies on the ide…
Human Perception as a Phenomenon of Quantization
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles
For two decades, the formalism of quantum mechanics has been successfully used to describe human decision processes, situations of heuristic reasoning, and the contextuality of con…
The Heart of an Image: Quantum Superposition and Entanglement in Visual Perception
Jonito Aerts Arguelles
We analyse the way in which the principle that 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts' manifests itself with phenomena of visual perception. For this investigation we use…
Spin and Wind Directions II: A Bell State Quantum Model
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
In the first half of this two-part article, we analyzed a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs of directions that they considered to be the…
Towards a Quantum World Wide Web
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguelles, Lester Beltran +5
We elaborate a quantum model for the meaning associated with corpora of written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web. To that end, we are guided by how physicists c…
Context and Interference Effects in the Combinations of Natural Concepts
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
The mathematical formalism of quantum theory exhibits significant effectiveness when applied to cognitive phenomena that have resisted traditional (set theoretical) modeling. Relyi…
Testing Quantum Models of Conjunction Fallacy on the World Wide Web
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
The 'conjunction fallacy' has been extensively debated by scholars in cognitive science and, in recent times, the discussion has been enriched by the proposal of modeling the falla…
Spin and Wind Directions I: Identifying Entanglement in Nature and Cognition
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
We present a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs of spatial directions that they considered to be the best example of 'Two Different Wind…
