Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision, Second Edition presents a fully updated and expanded version of this innovative and path-breaking text. It offers an accessible introduction to the intersection of quantum theory and cognitive science, covering new insights, modelling techniques, and applications for understanding human cognition and decision making. In it, Busemeyer and Bruza delve into such topics as the non-commutative nature of judgments, quantum interference as a general principle governing human decision making, contextuality in modelling human cognition, and thought-provoking speculation about what a quantum approach to cognition might reveal about the ultimate nature of the human mind. Additions include new material on measurement, open systems, and applications to computer science.

Requiring no prior background in

quantum physics, this book comes complete with a tutorial and fully worked-out applications in important areas of cognition and decision.

Jerome Busemeyer is Distinguished Professor in Psychological Brain Sciences at Indiana University. He published five books and over 120 journal articles in decision and cognition. He won the Warren medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists, and became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017. Peter Bruza is a Professor of Information Systems at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. His research spans cognitive science, non-classical logic and information retrieval. His current research interests lie in the field of Quantum Cognition, which aims to develop a new understandings of human cognition using the conceptual framework and formalism of quantum theory.
