This is a book presenting to a wide audience of readers, ranging from fans of science to professional researchers, some of the authors' recent discoveries in three distinct, but intimately related domains: probability theory (Bertrand's paradox), observation in physics (the measurement problem) and the modeling of experiments in psychology (quantum cognition). In all three of these domains of investigation, and the associated problems, the authors explain how to advantageously use the key notion of universal measurement, which constitutes the fil rouge of the whole text.

Contents:

  • Preface
  • Bertrand's Paradox
  • The Measurement Problem
  • The Hidden-Measurements Interpretation
  • Measurements with N Outcomes
  • The Nature of Human Thought
  • Fruits Interfering with Vegetables
  • Closing Thoughts
  • Bibliography
  • Index

Readership: University students and science enthusiasts interested in quantum mechanics or quantum cognition.
Key Features:

  • Addressing three important problems in mathematics, physics and human cognition, by exploiting a single fundamental notion
  • Connecting Bertrand's paradox and the measurement problem, proposing a possible solution for both
  • Explaining the unreasonable success of quantum mechanics in cognitive sciences
