Title: Quantum formalism for cognitive psychology
Authors: Dorje C Brody
Abstract summary: The dynamics of the state of mind resulting form information acquisition is characterised by the von Neumann-L"uders projection of quantum theory. The quantum formalism however goes beyond the range of applicability of classical reasoning in explaining cognitive behaviours, thus opens up new and intriguing possibilities.

Abstract: The cognitive state of mind concerning a range of choices to be made can effectively be modelled in terms of an element of a high-dimensional Hilbert space. The dynamics of the state of mind resulting form information acquisition is characterised by the von Neumann-L\"uders projection postulate of quantum theory. This is shown to give rise to an uncertainty-minimising dynamical behaviour equivalent to the Bayesian updating, hence providing an alternative approach to characterising the dynamics of cognitive state that is consistent with the free energy principle in brain science. The quantum formalism however goes beyond the range of applicability of classical reasoning in explaining cognitive behaviours, thus opens up new and intriguing possibilities.

Time-Irreversible Quantum-Classical Dynamics of Molecular Models in the Brain [36.136619420474766]
This manuscript aims to illustrate a quantum-classical dissipative theory within the long-term project of studying molecular processes in the brain. The theory must be dissipative not because of formal requirements but because brain processes appear to be dissipative at the molecular, physiological, and high functional levels.

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.

An attempt to construct a functional theory of the conscious mind within the framework of classical physics leads to causally impotent conscious experiences. We show that a mind--brain theory consistent with causally potent conscious experiences is provided by modern quantum physics.

A Quantum-Classical Model of Brain Dynamics [62.997667081978825]
Mixed Weyl symbol is used to describe brain processes at the microscopic level. Electromagnetic fields and phonon modes involved in the processes are treated either classically or semi-classically. Zero-point quantum effects can be incorporated into numerical simulations by controlling the temperature of each field mode.

Method of spectral Green functions in driven open quantum dynamics [77.34726150561087]
A novel method based on spectral Green functions is presented for the simulation of driven open quantum dynamics. The formalism shows remarkable analogies to the use of Green functions in quantum field theory. The method dramatically reduces computational cost compared with simulations based on solving the full master equation.
