Quantum Interaction 2018 (QI2018)

This symposium will bring together researchers interested in how QI interfaces with or can be applied directly to solve problems in non-quantum domains more efficiently or to address previously unsolved problems. Papers addressing one or more of the following broad content areas are welcome:

• Complex Systems
• Semantic Representation And Processing
• Logic And Epistemology
• Information Processing And Retrieval
• Cognition And Brain (Memory, Cognitive Processes, Neural Networks, Consciousness)
• Decision Theory (Political, Psychological, Cultural, Organizational, Social, Etc.)
• Game Theory
• Finance, Economics, And Social Structures (e.g. Organizations, Institutions, Cultures)
• Artificial Intelligence (Logic, Planning, Agents and Multi-Agent Systems)
• Biological Systems

Papers that address the application of the following QI topics to modeling cognitive, social, and semantic processes for AI will be considered favorably:

• Vector Methods (beyond just proximity)
• Entanglement (i.e., non-separability arising from product structures)
• Projection and non-commutativity
• Operators as predicates
• Quantization
  • How do we get from (apparently) continuous stimuli to clearly discrete expressions?
  • How does collapse happen?
  • How does the future (a range of potentialities) become the past (one outcome has been selected and cannot change)?
• Non-Classical Probabilistic Models
• Normalization And Expectation
• Prediction
