Funded Activity Summary

The Quantum Mechanics of Semantic Space. Quantum mechanics (QM) is a well known and successful theory from physics which has recently attracted quite some public interest. Quantum Mechanics is emerging out of physics and permeating into other areas, for example, information retrieval, human language and cognition. This offers tantalizing possibilities and bizarre implications, some of which, if realized, can lead to genuine breakthroughs in producing information technology to enhance human awareness in increasingly complex information environments. Through this project, Australia has the possibility to be at the forefront and have a hand in determining such developments.
