Title: Quantum Structure in Human Perception
Authors: Diederik Aerts and Jonito Aerts Argu\"elles
Abstract summary: We investigate the ways in which the quantum structures of superposition, contextuality, and entanglement have their origins in human perception itself. Our analysis takes us from a simple quantum measurement model, along how human perception incorporates the warping mechanism of categorical perception.

Abstract: We wish to investigate the ways in which the quantum structures of superposition, contextuality, and entanglement have their origins in human perception itself, given how they are sucessfully used to model aspects of human cognition. Our analysis takes us from a simple quantum measurement model, along how human perception incorporates the warping mechanism of categorical perception, to a quantum version of the prototype theory for concepts, which allows for dynamic contextuality when concepts are combined. Our study is rooted in an operational quantum axiomatics that leads to a state context property system for concepts. We illustrate our quantum prototype model and its interference when combining concepts with two examples worked out in detail

Quantum data learning for quantum simulations in high-energy physics [55.41644538483948]
We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.
