Opis

These are the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Quantum Interaction (QI-2009), held at the German Research Centre for Arti?cial Int- ligence (DFKI), Saarbru ]cken during March 25-27, 2009. Quantum theory (QT) is being applied to domains such as arti?cial intelligence, human language, cognition, information retrieval, biology, political science, e- nomics, organizations, andsocialinteraction. After highly successfulmeetings at Stanford (QI-2007)and Oxford(QI-2008), QI-2009brought together researchers interested in advancing and applying the methods and structures of QT to these and other domains outside of quantum physics: - Advancement of theory and experimentation for applying quantum theory to non-quantum domains - Use of quantum algorithms to address, or to more e?ciently solve, problems in non-quantum domains (including contrasts between classical vs. quantum methods) - Practical applications to quantum domains, such as implementation of AI, or information retrieval (IR) techniques The proceedings include 21 long papers and 3 position papers. Each paper was thoroughlyreviewedbyatleasttwomembersoftheinternationalProgramC- mittee. The proceedings highlight the cross-disciplinary nature of quantum - teraction with papers covering topics such as computation, cognition, decision theory, information retrieval, information systems, social interaction, compu- tional linguistics and ?nance. In addition, we were honored to receive a keynote presentation by Dagmar Bruss (Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of D] usseldorf). We gratefully acknowledgethe supportof EarlResearchand Kirsty Kitto for helping prepare these proceedings.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Quantum Interaction, QI 2009, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in March 2009.

The 21 revised full papers presented together with the 3 position papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers show the cross-disciplinary nature of quantum interaction covering topics such as computation, cognition, decision theory, information retrieval, information systems, social interaction, computational linguistics and finance.
