To arbitrate theories of consciousness, scientists need mathematical models of consciousness or qualia. The dominant view regards qualia as points in a dimensional space. Implicit in this view is that qualia can be in principle measured without any effects on it. This contrasts with intuitions and various empirical findings about qualia that they can change when they are measured. How can we deal with entities that are affected by the act of measurement? We argue that mathematical formalisms of quantum theory are precisely developed to deal with such situations. Here, we propose qualia as “observables” (i.e., entities that can be in principle observed), sensory inputs and internal attention as “states” that specify the context that a measurement takes place, and “measurement outcomes” as expected values of qualia observables in a certain state. We propose to call this formalism as the Quantum Qualia (QQ) hypothesis. QQ proposes that qualia observables in a state interact with the world, as if through an interface of sensory inputs and internal attention. This qualia-interface-world scheme has the same mathematical structure as observables-states-environment in quantum theory. Within this framework, mathematical concepts of “instruments” can precisely formalize how measurements can affect (or update) qualia observables and states. QQ naturally explains intuitions about qualia, such as the nature of qualia as indeterminate entities. Finally, QQ leads to empirical predictions that challenge traditional models, such as order effects and violations of Bell inequalities. With further confirmation of such predictions, we believe that QQ will emerge as a viable alternate mathematical model of qualia, offering an important step towards understanding the nature and structures of consciousness.

“…This is achieved through a 'unipolar' scale going from 0 → 1 intelligent alongside a unipolar scale going from 0 → 1 silly. Such a combo we call 'bidimensional unipolar scales' but Quantum Coppélia also does something extra, as another dimension of ambiguity, naturally, as the quantum properties of mixed states (Ho & Hoorn, 2022). Let's say that in a portrait of Quasimodo or Cyrano de Bergerac, the man is so ugly that he becomes beautiful again.…”

In this discussion paper, I give an account for non-experts of, arguably, quantum dynamics in the brain, underlying the modeling of affective behavior of humanoid robots in the making. Outreach to the larger audience inevitably leads to abbreviations and simplifications; nonetheless, I try to offer the backgrounds of why it is important to study the virtual aspects of ‘people’ we meet online, what dimensions play a role in assessing such creatures, what humanities, psychology, communication, and computer science provide to help us understand how we become attached to non-existent others. As its capstone for the time being, an approach derived from physics is discussed for a robot to handle emotional ambiguity and vagueness of its user. Two computational models, Silicon and Quantum Coppélia, are discussed for their potential and limitations in explaining human affective behavior while dealing with mediated characters.

“…Tere has been a number of work establishing fundamentals of quantum mechanics within the notion decision-making under uncertainties. For example, recently [5] applied the quantum computational model to represents modelling the human afective system and applying lessons learned to human-robot interaction, in handling ambiguous emotional states and probabilistic decisions using quantum logic on fuzzy-sets hardware. Reference [6] presents some results in exploring the notion of interference efect within the context of Bayesian network and fuzzy set theory.…”

Establishing various frameworks for managing uncertainties in decision-making systems have been posing many fundamental challenges to the system design engineers. Quantum paradigm has been introduced to the area of decision and control communities as a possible supporting platform in such uncertainty management. This paper presents an overview of how a quantum framework and, in particular, probability amplitude has been proposed and utilized in the literature to complement two classical probabilistic decision-making approaches. The first such framework is based in the Bayesian network, and the second is based on an element of Dempster–Shafer (DS) theory using the definition of mass function. The paper first presents a summary of these classical approaches, followed by a review of their preliminary enhancements using the quantum model framework. Particular attention was given on how the notion of probability amplitude is utilized in such extensions to the quantum-like framework. Numerical walk-through examples are combined with the presentation of each method in order to better demonstrate the extensions of the proposed frameworks. The main objective is to better define and develop a common platform in order to further explore and experiment with this alternative framework as a part of a decision support system.
