Quantum minds: Why we think like quarks - life - 05 September 2011 - New Scientist

Quantum minds: Why we think like quarks - life - 05 September 2011 - New Scientist

Quantum physics as the whole quantum theory is something fascinating. In this New Scientist article, Mark Buchanan discusses how quantum logic can be applied in other areas of knowledge. The whole issue of contextuality has a lot to do with so many other areas such as language, learning, knowledge exchange... As Diederick Aerts, a physicist at the Free University of Brussels said: "The structure of human conceptual knowledge is quantum-like because context plays a fundamental role." Quantum theory defies the ordinary logic, with particles frequently occupying two or more places at the same time... Hurray! Quantum theory may help us free ourselves from the constraints and limitations of the old traditional logic and its consequent limitations. Exciting times where new ideas and possibilities can flourish...
