Universal Measurements (ePub)

-->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: PrefaceBertrand's ParadoxThe Measurement ProblemThe Hidden-Measurements InterpretationMeasurements with N OutcomesThe Nature of Human ThoughtFruits Interfering with VegetablesClosing ThoughtsBibliographyIndex --> -->Readership: University students and science enthusiasts interested in quantum mechanics or quantum cognition. -->Quantum Mechanics;Quantum Probability;Universal Measurement;Bertrand Paradox;Measurement Problem;Collapse of the Wave Function;Quantum Cognition;Cognitive Science;Human Thought;Emergence;Concept Combination;Hidden Variable Theory;Hidden Measurement InterpretationKey Features:Addressing three important problems in mathematics, physics and human cognition, by exploiting a single fundamental notionConnecting Bertrand's paradox and the measurement problem, proposing a possible solution for bothExplaining the unreasonable success of quantum mechanics in cognitive sciences
