Preface

Quantum Interaction (QI) is an emerging interdisciplinary field of science. It proposes applications of quantum theory to a large variety of domains from psychology, economics, semantic and memory, natural language processing, cognition, information retrieval, biology, and political science. The applications addressed typically operate at a macroscopic scale and could not be considered quantum in a quantum mechanical sense. However, they share key properties with quantum systems. These include non-commutativity of measurement, indeterminacy, non-separability, contextuality, and harmonic oscillations. QI thus refers to the use of the quantum mathematical, conceptual, or probabilistic structures outside of physics. Since its inception in 2007, QI has evolved from nearly exclusively theoretical and conceptual contributions to more applied works including lab experiments.

QI 2018, the 11th International Conference on Quantum Interactions was part of a series of international conferences. This now traditional conference started in 2007 as part of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Spring Symposia at Stanford University. For the second time the conference was held in France (QI 2012 was in Paris). The 11th conference took place during September 3–5, 2018, in Nice. It was hosted by Nice Graduate School of Management at the Sophia Antipolis University.

In this year’s conference we had many distinguished speakers, and we are happy to have contributions to this volume from two of our keynote speakers. Prof. Michel Bitbol, Directeur de recherche CNRS at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France, offers a philosophical and historical perspective that unveils deep reasons for a quantum approach in human sciences. Prof. B. P. F. Jacobs, from the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (ICIS), Correctness Digital Security Group at Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, provides a review of the questions related to updating in the classical and quantum context and introduces challenging research issues related to probabilistic logic.

The conference had an affiliated workshop entitled Workshop on Compositional Approaches in Physics, NLP, and Social Sciences (CAPNS 2018). Its proceedings appeared in ENTCS.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank everybody who made this symposium possible: the Steering Committee, the Program Committee members for their reviewing job, the proceedings and the publicity chairs, those responsible for the website design and management, and all the conference participants and presenters. We are grateful for the support given by the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis.
