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.

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}.
Representing Attitudes Towards Ambiguity in Hilbert Space: Foundations and Applications
We provide here a general mathematical framework to model attitudes towards ambiguity which uses the formalism of quantum theory as a ``purely mathematical formalism, detached from any physical interpretation''.
Explaining versus Describing Human Decisions. Hilbert Space Structures in Decision Theory
Despite the impressive success of quantum structures to model long-standing human judgement and decision puzzles, the {\it quantum cognition research programme} still faces challenges about its explanatory power.
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.
Quantum Structures in Human Decision-making: Towards Quantum Expected Utility
{\it Ellsberg thought experiments} and empirical confirmation of Ellsberg preferences pose serious challenges to {\it subjective expected utility theory} (SEUT).
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'.
The Dutch's Real World Financial Institute: Introducing Quantum-Like Bayesian Networks as an Alternative Model to deal with Uncertainty
In this work, we analyse and model a real life financial loan application belonging to a sample bank in the Netherlands.
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.
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.
Conjunction and Negation of Natural Concepts: A Quantum-theoretic Modeling
In the first experiment, we test the membership weights of a list of exemplars with respect to two concepts, e. g., {\it Fruits} and {\it Vegetables}, and their conjunction {\it Fruits And Vegetables}.
Modeling Concept Combinations in a Quantum-theoretic Framework
We present modeling for conceptual combinations which uses the mathematical formalism of quantum theory.
The Quantum Challenge in Concept Theory and Natural Language Processing
The mathematical formalism of quantum theory has been successfully used in human cognition to model decision processes and to deliver representations of human knowledge.
General Quantum Hilbert Space Modeling Scheme for Entanglement
We work out a classification scheme for quantum modeling in Hilbert space of any kind of composite entity violating Bell's inequalities and exhibiting entanglement.
Meaning-focused and Quantum-inspired Information Retrieval
In recent years, quantum-based methods have promisingly integrated the traditional procedures in information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP).
Entanglement Zoo II: Examples in Physics and Cognition
We have recently presented a general scheme enabling quantum modeling of different types of situations that violate Bell's inequalities.
Entanglement Zoo I: Foundational and Structural Aspects
We put forward a general classification for a structural description of the entanglement present in compound entities experimentally violating Bell's inequalities, making use of a new entanglement scheme that we developed recently.
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.
