Entanglement as a Method to Reduce Uncertainty

no code implementations12 Feb 2023 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Argëlles, Lester Beltran, Suzette Geriente, Sandro Sozzo

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

no code implementations24 Dec 2022 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Sandro Sozzo

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.

A Planck Radiation and Quantization Scheme for Human Cognition and Language

no code implementations10 Jan 2022 Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran

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

no code implementations10 Oct 2021 Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran

In previous research, we showed that 'texts that tell a story' exhibit a statistical structure that is not Maxwell-Boltzmann but Bose-Einstein.

Quantum Bose-Einstein Statistics for Indistinguishable Concepts in Human Language

no code implementations28 Mar 2021 Lester Beltran

We investigate the hypothesis that within a combination of a 'number concept' plus a 'substantive concept', such as 'eleven animals,' the identity and indistinguishability present on the level of the concepts, i. e., all eleven animals are identical and indistinguishable, gives rise to a statistical structure of the Bose-Einstein type similar to how Bose-Einstein statistics is present for identical and indistinguishable quantum particles.

Entanglement in Cognition violating Bell Inequalities Beyond Cirel'son's Bound

no code implementations7 Feb 2021 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Suzette Geriente, Sandro Sozzo

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}.

Quantum Structure in Cognition: Human Language as a Boson Gas of Entangled Words

no code implementations15 Sep 2019 Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran

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

no code implementations5 Jan 2019 Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran, Suzette Geriente, Sandro Sozzo

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.

Quantum Entanglement in Corpuses of Documents

no code implementations25 Oct 2018 Lester Beltran, Suzette Geriente

We show that data collected from corpuses of documents violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt version of Bell's inequality (CHSH inequality) and therefore indicate the presence of quantum entanglement in their structure.

Towards a Quantum World Wide Web

no code implementations20 Mar 2017 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguelles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Isaac Distrito, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

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

no code implementations19 Dec 2016 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

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

no code implementations25 Sep 2016 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

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.
