Entanglement as a Method to Reduce Uncertainty
In physics, entanglement 'reduces' the entropy of an entity, because the (von Neumann) entropy of, e. g., a composite bipartite entity in a pure entangled state is systematically lower than the entropy of the component sub-entities.
Development of a Thermodynamics of Human Cognition and Human Culture
Inspired by foundational studies in classical and quantum physics, and by information retrieval studies in quantum information theory, we prove that the notions of 'energy' and 'entropy' can be consistently introduced in human language and, more generally, in human culture.

Human Perception as a Phenomenon of Quantization
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 concepts and their combinations.
A Planck Radiation and Quantization Scheme for Human Cognition and Language
In the present work, we build on this result, and introduce a powerful radiation quantization scheme for human cognition.
Are Words the Quanta of Human Language? Extending the Domain of Quantum Cognition
In previous research, we showed that 'texts that tell a story' exhibit a statistical structure that is not Maxwell-Boltzmann but Bose-Einstein.

Entanglement in Cognition violating Bell Inequalities Beyond Cirel'son's Bound
We present the results of two tests where a sample of human participants were asked to make judgements about the conceptual combinations {\it The Animal Acts} and {\it The Animal eats the Food}.
Measuring Conceptual Entanglement in Collections of Documents
Conceptual entanglement is a crucial phenomenon in quantum cognition because it implies that classical probabilities cannot model non--compositional conceptual phenomena.
Quantum Structure in Cognition: Human Language as a Boson Gas of Entangled Words
We model a piece of text of human language telling a story by means of the quantum structure describing a Bose gas in a state close to a Bose-Einstein condensate near absolute zero temperature.
Quantum-theoretic Modeling in Computer Science A complex Hilbert space model for entangled concepts in corpuses of documents
We work out a quantum-theoretic model in complex Hilbert space of a recently performed test on co-occurrencies of two concepts and their combination in retrieval processes on specific corpuses of documents.
Modeling Meaning Associated with Documental Entities: Introducing the Brussels Quantum Approach
We show that the Brussels operational-realistic approach to quantum physics and quantum cognition offers a fundamental strategy for modeling the meaning associated with collections of documental entities.
Quantum cognition goes beyond-quantum: modeling the collective participant in psychological measurements
In psychological measurements, two levels should be distinguished: the 'individual level', relative to the different participants in a given cognitive situation, and the 'collective level', relative to the overall statistics of their outcomes, which we propose to associate with a notion of 'collective participant'.
Towards a Quantum World Wide Web
We elaborate a quantum model for the meaning associated with corpora of written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web.
Context and Interference Effects in the Combinations of Natural Concepts
The mathematical formalism of quantum theory exhibits significant effectiveness when applied to cognitive phenomena that have resisted traditional (set theoretical) modeling.
Testing Quantum Models of Conjunction Fallacy on the World Wide Web
Two major quantum approaches have been put forward: the first assumes that respondents use a two-step sequential reasoning and that the fallacy results from the presence of 'question order effects'; the second assumes that respondents evaluate the cognitive situation as a whole and that the fallacy results from the 'emergence of new meanings', as an 'effect of overextension' in the conceptual conjunction.
Quantum Cognition Beyond Hilbert Space I: Fundamentals
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 approaches were problematical.
Quantum cognition beyond Hilbert space II: Applications
The research on human cognition has recently benefited from the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space.
Generalizing Prototype Theory: A Formal Quantum Framework
We show how a formal quantum approach to concepts and their combinations can provide a powerful extension of prototype theory.
On the Foundations of the Brussels Operational-Realistic Approach to Cognition
The scientific community is becoming more and more interested in the research that applies the mathematical formalism of quantum theory to model human decision-making.
The GTR-model: a universal framework for quantum-like measurements
We present a very general geometrico-dynamical description of physical or more abstract entities, called the 'general tension-reduction' (GTR) model, where not only states, but also measurement-interactions can be represented, and the associated outcome probabilities calculated.
Beyond-Quantum Modeling of Question Order Effects and Response Replicability in Psychological Measurements
It is has been observed that when question order effects and response replicability occur together, the situation cannot be handled anymore by quantum theory.
A New Fundamental Evidence of Non-Classical Structure in the Combination of Natural Concepts
We recently performed cognitive experiments on conjunctions and negations of two concepts with the aim of investigating the combination problem of concepts.
Quantum Structure of Negation and Conjunction in Human Thought
We analyse in this paper the data collected in a set of experiments performed on human subjects on the combination of natural concepts.
Quantum Structure in Cognition, Origins, Developments, Successes and Expectations
We provide an overview of the results we have attained in the last decade on the identification of quantum structures in cognition and, more specifically, in the formalization and representation of natural concepts.
Quantum Structure in Cognition and the Foundations of Human Reasoning
Traditional cognitive science rests on a foundation of classical logic and probability theory.
The Quantum Nature of Identity in Human Thought: Bose-Einstein Statistics for Conceptual Indistinguishability
In this paper, we investigate a novel type of concept combination were a number is combined with a noun, e. g., `Eleven Animals.
Modeling Concept Combinations in a Quantum-theoretic Framework
We present modeling for conceptual combinations which uses the mathematical formalism of quantum theory.
Toward a Formal Model of the Shifting Relationship between Concepts and Contexts during Associative Thought
The quantum inspired State Context Property (SCOP) theory of concepts is unique amongst theories of concepts in offering a means of incorporating that for each concept in each different context there are an unlimited number of exemplars, or states, of varying degrees of typicality.
Contextualizing concepts using a mathematical generalization of the quantum formalism
We outline the rationale and preliminary results of using the state context property (SCOP) formalism, originally developed as a generalization of quantum mechanics, to describe the contextual manner in which concepts are evoked, used and combined to generate meaning.

The mathematical formalism of quantum theory has been successfully used in human cognition to model decision processes and to deliver representations of human knowledge.

In recent years, quantum-based methods have promisingly integrated the traditional procedures in information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP).
Quantum and Concept Combination, Entangled Measurements and Prototype Theory
We analyze the meaning of the violation of the marginal probability law for situations of correlation measurements where entanglement is identified.
Quantum Entanglement in Concept Combinations
Research in the application of quantum structures to cognitive science confirms that these structures quite systematically appear in the dynamics of concepts and their combinations and quantum-based models faithfully represent experimental data of situations where classical approaches are problematical.
