Special issue information:

A growing body of theoretical and empirical research reveals that quantum structures, as contextuality, emergence, entanglement, indistinguishability, interference, and superposition, also manifest themselves in other domains than micro-physics, which include, in particular, cognition (human probability and similarity judgements, decision-making, language and perception), socio-economic domains (behavioural economics and finance) and information systems (computer science and artificial intelligence), in situations where empirical data differs from the predictions of classical (Boolean) logical and (Kolmogorovian) probabilistic structures. In this special issue, we intend to deepen and extend the state-of-the-art of the discipline, focusing on the identification of quantum structures in computing and information science, in particular, information retrieval, natural language processing and computational linguistics, with relevant applications to artificial intelligence. The special issue is, in content, suitable for theoretical computer scientists, but also for applied physicists, mathematicians and philosophers of computation. It also perfectly fits the scopes of the TCS journal.”
