The 2018 Quantum Interaction (QI) conference in Nice France followed previous successful meetings, including Standford University, Oxford University and Paris PSA University.
This year program provided a debated ground for applications of formal concepts of Quantum theory to areas outside physics. As you know, GetQuanty believes that quantum like concepts can be applied to marketing (www.quantum-marketing.io). Quantum Interaction is doing the same, and has developed into an emerging and exiting interdisciplinary area of science such as :
- Vector Methods (beyond just proximity)
- Entanglement (i.e., non-separability arising from product structures)
- Projection and non-commutativity
- Operators as predicates
- Quantization
- How do we get from (apparently) continuous stimuli to clearly discrete expressions?
- How does collapse happen?
- How does the future (a range of potentialities) become the past (one outcome has been selected and cannot change)?
- Non-Classical Probabilistic Models
- Normalization And Expectation
- Prediction
It is a challenge to summarize all the 20 conferences presented during these 3 days in all areas. So the best thing is to give you access to the program
and to the youtube channel with all recorded videos of each conference.
Quantum Interaction : executive summary
Now, if I could guide you in an executive summary of my special interest of quantum interactions related to Quantum marketing, I will suggest you begin with a Philosophical point of view from Michel BITBOLL explaining us why Quantum Theory is so universaly efficient in so many areas (https://youtu.be/0Vvy2mLjwxI).
Then Ariane Mogiliansky, Adrian Calmettes, and Hervé Gonay described The Power Of Distraction with An Experimental Test Of Quantum Persuasion. (https://youtu.be/w-kt1pcPMXQ)
The Panel Discussion: When Does Something Warrant The Adjective 'Quantum'? (https://youtu.be/6OICRbu4Hfs) was really interesting and helpful to justify quantum like theories with concepts such as non commutativity, non locality together with contextuality.
If you are interested in economy, then have a look at Quantum like influence diagrams for violation of the sure things principle from catarina moreira (https://youtu.be/2Qq5ZBjn-48) (slides et white paper)
Working on web analytics implies working on web semantics with the conference of Sagar Uprety : Investigating Bell Inequalities For Multidimensional Relevance Judgments in Information Retrieval (https://youtu.be/ROHQKmK6QhU)
