Concepts and their dynamics: A quantum‐theoretic modeling of human thought

D Aerts, L Gabora, S Sozzo - Topics in Cognitive science, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We analyze different aspects of our quantum modeling approach of human concepts and,
more specifically, focus on the quantum effects of contextuality, interference, entanglement …

[HTML][HTML] The extended Bloch representation of quantum mechanics and the hidden-measurement solution to the measurement problem

D Aerts, MS De Bianchi - Annals of Physics, 2014 - Elsevier
A generalized Bloch sphere, in which the states of a quantum entity of arbitrary dimension
are geometrically represented, is investigated and further extended, to also incorporate the …

[HTML][HTML] The unreasonable success of quantum probability I: Quantum measurements as uniform fluctuations

D Aerts, MS de Bianchi - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2015 - Elsevier
We introduce a model which allows to represent the probabilities associated with an
arbitrary measurement situation as it appears in different domains of science–from cognitive …

Being and change: foundations of a realistic operational formalism

D Aerts - Probing the structure of quantum mechanics, 2002 - World Scientific
The aim of this article is to represent the general description of an entity by means of its
states, contexts and properties. The entity that we want to describe does not necessarily …

Solving the hard problem of Bertrand's paradox

D Aerts, MS de Bianchi - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Bertrand's paradox is a famous problem of probability theory, pointing to a possible
inconsistency in Laplace's principle of insufficient reason. In this article, we show that …

[PDF][PDF] The locality of the superposition principle is dictated by detection processes

C Roychoudhuri - Phys. Essays, 2006 - natureoflight.org
Both classical and quantum physics thrive on the superposition principle (SP), yet the first
one takes it as a local effect and the second one assumes it as a non-local phenomenon …

Towards a general operational and realistic framework for quantum mechanics and relativity theory

D Aerts, S Aerts - Quo Vadis Quantum Mechanics?, 2005 - Springer
Quantum mechanics, even after so many years of reflection by the brightest scientists of our
day, still confronts us with really fundamental problems. While microscopic effects predicted …

Beyond-quantum modeling of question order effects and response replicability in psychological measurements

D Aerts, MS de Bianchi - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2017 - Elsevier
A general tension-reduction (GTR) model was recently considered (Aerts and Sassoli de
Bianchi 2015a, 2015b) to derive quantum probabilities as (universal) averages over all …

A quantum-conceptual explanation of violations of expected utility in economics

D Aerts, J Broekaert, M Czachor… - Quantum Interaction: 5th …, 2011 - Springer
