A Generalized Probability Framework to Model Economic Agents' Decisions Under Uncertainty

Emmanuel E. Haven, Sandro Sozzo

The applications of techniques from statistical (and classical) mechanics to model interesting problems in economics and finance has produced valuable results. The principal movement which has steered this research direction is known under the name of `econophysics'. In this paper, we illustrate and advance some of the findings that have been obtained by applying the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics to model human decision making under `uncertainty' in behavioral economics and finance. Starting from Ellsberg's seminal article, decision making situations have been experimentally verified where the application of Kolmogorovian probability in the formulation of expected utility is problematic. Those probability measures which by necessity must situate themselves in Hilbert space (such as `quantum probability') enable a faithful representation of experimental data. We thus provide an explanation for the effectiveness of the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics in the modeling of human decision making. We want to be explicit though that we are not claiming that decision making has microscopic quantum mechanical features.

Quantum-Inspired Dynamic Decision-Making Algorithm (QIDDM): A Robust Framework for Delayed Commitment in Uncertain Environments

Mr. Mahesh Y. Gondekar

This paper introduces the Quantum-Inspired Dynamic Decision-Making Algorithm (QIDDM), a novel framework that leverages quantum mechanical principles-superposition, entanglement, and collapse-to optimize decision-making in dynamic, uncertain environments. By maintaining a probabilistic superposition of potential actions until contextual data triggers a collapse, QIDDM delays premature commitments, enabling adaptive responses in robotics, finance, and reinforcement learning. Experimental validation in simulated robotic navigation and financial trading environments demonstrates a 27% improvement in decision accuracy and 33% reduction in premature commitments compared to classical threshold-based and reinforcement learning methods. The algorithm’s mathematical formalism, scalability, and real-world applicability are rigorously analyzed, establishing it as a transformative approach for dynamic decision-making.

Single-photon decision maker

Makoto Naruse, Martin Berthel, Aurélien Drezet +4 more

Decision making is critical in our daily lives and for society in general and is finding evermore practical applications in information and communication technologies. Herein, we demonstrate experimentally that single photons can be used to make decisions in uncertain, dynamically changing environments. Using a nitrogen-vacancy in a nanodiamond as a single-photon source, we demonstrate the decision-making capability by solving the multi-armed bandit problem. This capability is directly and immediately associated with single-photon detection in the proposed architecture, leading to adequate and adaptive autonomous decision making. This study makes it possible to create systems that benefit from the quantum nature of light to perform practical and vital intelligent functions.
