Global causality in space-time universe

Alexander A. Chernitskii

The problems connected with a causality of space-time universe and with the paradox of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen are considered. A main philosophical problem and its possible solutions are briefly discussed. A concept of unified local field theory is considered. It is shown that in the framework of such theory there are nonlocal correlations between space separate events. These correlations are predicted by quantum mechanics and they are confirmed by Aspect type experiments for testing of Bell inequality. The presence of these nonlocal correlations in the framework of a local field theory is connected with the fact that its solution is nonlocal in character. Prospects for possible applications of an unified local field theory are considered.

A theory of concepts and their combinations II: A Hilbert space representation

Diederik Aerts, Liane M. Gabora

The sets of contexts and properties of a concept are embedded in the complex Hilbert space of quantum mechanics. States are unit vectors or density operators, and contexts and properties are orthogonal projections. The way calculations are done in Hilbert space makes it possible to model how context influences the state of a concept. Moreover, a solution to the combination of concepts is proposed. Using the tensor product, a procedure for describing combined concepts is elaborated, providing a natural solution to the pet fish problem. This procedure allows the modeling of an arbitrary number of combined concepts. By way of example, a model for a simple sentence containing a subject, a predicate and an object, is presented.

Incorporation of Constraints in Optimization Problems via Normalization Condition in Hilbert Space

Abner de Almeida Costa, Bruno Oziel Fernandez

In this work, we introduce a technique for incorporating constraints into the structure of quantum mechanics through the normalization condition of quantum states. We present a method for constructing Hamiltonians for optimization problems directly from the problem’s own constraints, eliminating the need to insert penalty terms into the Hamiltonian and ensuring that the search space matches the feasible solution space of the problem. We demonstrate the validity of the proposal with a theoretical proof of concept, discuss its possibilities and limitations, and explore potential applications.
