Second Quantum Interaction Symposium



THE SECOND QUANTUM INTERACTION SYMPOSIUM (QI-2008)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oxford University, March 26-28, 2008

Quantum Mechanics (QM) is emerging from physics into non-quantum
domains such as human language, cognition, information retrieval,
biology, political science, economics, organizations, and social
interaction. The organizers of the Second Quantum Interaction
Symposium are interested in advancing and applying the methods and
structures of QM to these and other domains outside of physics.




The symposium will present research dealing with the use of concepts
taken from the general body of research in QM on the physical,
epistemological, mathematical or philosophical levels and applied to
modeling and better understanding phenomena in the following areas:




RELEVANT TOPIC AREAS

Language, Linguistics

Logic, Artificial Intelligence

Cognition, Brain (memory, cognitive processes, neural networks,
consciousness)
Information Processing and Retrieval

Biological, Complex Systems

Political, Cultural, Psychological or Social Sciences

Illusions (visual, auditory or other perceptual phenomena)

Social Interaction

Finance, Econophysics

Organizations (mergers, corporate cultures, decision-making)

Other (specify)
