Quantum entanglement in physical and cognitive systems: a conceptual analysis and a general representation
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
We provide a general description of the phenomenon of entanglement in bipartite systems, as it manifests in micro and macro physical systems, as well as in human cognitive processe…
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…
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…
Quantum cognition beyond Hilbert space II: Applications
Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi +2
The research on human cognition has recently benefited from the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space. However, cognitive situations exist which indi…
Quantum Cognition Beyond Hilbert Space I: Fundamentals
Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi +2
The formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space has been applied with success to the modeling and explanation of several cognitive phenomena, whereas traditional cognitive approac…
