Abstract

The long-lasting problem of proper mathematical representation of conjunctions and disjunctions in quantum logics is reviewed and three recent proposals of solutions are described.

Implementing Fuzzy Logic with Quantum Computing

Vicente Moret‐Bonillo, Eduardo Mosqueira-Rey, Samuel Magaz-Romero

In this paper we present our proposal for a fuzzy logic model based on Quantum Computing. After analyzing how logical connectives are constructed and applied in fuzzy logic, we research how Quantum Computing can provide a new model to manage fuzzy variables, mainly using superposition of states for the implementation of fuzzy information. A comparison between our proposal and several classical connectives is carried out, including negation, conjunction and disjunction. We prove that quantum fuzzy connectives present a proper behavior, manifesting the peculiarities of the quantum paradigm, which is beneficial for the representation of uncertain knowledge. We conclude on how this work establishes a model that can be further expanded for the development of quantum fuzzy reasoning.

4 Modeling Concept Combinations in a Quantum-theoretic Framework

Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo

We present modeling for conceptual combinations which uses the mathematical formalism of quantum theory. Our model faithfully describes a large amount of experimental data collected by different scholars on concept conjunctions and disjunctions. Furthermore, our approach sheds a new light on long standing drawbacks connected with vagueness, or fuzziness, of concepts, and puts forward a completely novel possible solution to the 'combination problem' in concept theory. Additionally, we introduce an explanation for the occurrence of quantum structures in the mechanisms and dynamics of concepts and, more generally, in cognitive and decision processes, according to which human thought is a well structured superposition of a 'logical thought' and a 'conceptual thought', and the latter usually prevails over the former, at variance with some widespread beliefs.
