The adaptive nature of confirmation bias
Dorje C. Brody, Karl J. Friston, Bernhard K. Meister +1
In this paper, the phenomenon generally classified as confirmation bias is formulated on the space of square-root probabilities (or equivalently, using the structures of quantum pr…
Measuring Bell non-locality in the presence of signaling
Mark Broom, Talel Naccache, Emmanuel M. Pothos +2
Scientific inquiry seeks causal explanations of observed phenomena. The Bell experiment provides a paradigmatic case, revealing correlations between spatially separated systems tha…
High schoolers excel at Oxford quantum course using pictorial mathematics
Bob Coecke, Aleks Kissinger, Stefano Gogioso +12
We are at the dawn of the second quantum revolution, where our ability to create and control individual quantum systems is poised to drive transformative advancements in basic scie…
Natural, Artificial, and Human Intelligences
Emmanuel M. Pothos, Dominic Widdows
Human achievement, whether in culture, science, or technology, is unparalleled in the known existence. This achievement is tied to the enormous communities of knowledge, made possi…
Incorporating episodic memory into quantum models of judgment and decision
Jerome R. Busemeyer, Masanao Ozawa, Emmanuel M. Pothos +1
An important challenge for quantum theories of cognition and decision concerns the incorporation of memory for recently made judgments and their effects on later judgments. First,…
Making the quantum world accessible to young learners through Quantum Picturalism: An experimental study
Selma Dündar-Coecke, Caterina Puca, Lia Yeh +12
The educational value of a fully diagrammatic approach in a scientific field has never been explored. We present Quantum Picturalism (QPic), an entirely diagrammatic formalism for…
Quantum Circuit Components for Cognitive Decision-Making
Dominic Widdows, Jyoti Rani, Emmanuel Pothos
This paper demonstrates that some non-classical models of human decision-making can be run successfully as circuits on quantum computers. Since the 1960s, many observed cognitive b…
Violations of locality and free choice are equivalent resources in Bell experiments
Pawel Blasiak, Emmanuel M. Pothos, James M. Yearsley +2
Bell inequalities rest on three fundamental assumptions: realism, locality, and free choice, which lead to nontrivial constraints on correlations in very simple experiments. If we…
Quantum probability updating from zero prior (by-passing Cromwell's rule)
Irina Basieva, Emmanuel Pothos, Jennifer Trueblood +2
Cromwell's rule (also known as the zero priors paradox) refers to the constraint of classical probability theory that if one assigns a prior probability of 0 or 1 to a hypothesis,…
Quantum Probability Explanations for Probability Judgment 'Errors'
Jerome R. Busemeyer, Riccardo Franco, Emmanuel M. Pothos
A quantum probability model is introduced and used to explain human probability judgment errors including the conjunction, disjunction, inverse, and conditional fallacies, as well…
