Agent Having Quantum Properties: The Superposition States and the Entanglement

Abstract

In agent-based simulation and modelling of intelligent complex systems, the problem of decision making by agents having incomplete, uncertain, local or global, exchanged or observed information is very common. Recent studies on quantum cognition introduce in the decision process modelling and analysis, quantum properties such as superposition state, non-locality, oscillation, interference or entanglement. This paper proposes a model of quantum-like agents able to implement quantum properties of superposition state and local or non-local entanglement. A case study based on an adaptation of the Takuzu game illustrates our proposed approach of quantum agents modelling. A discussion on the interest of decomposing or not components of a system in the intelligent complex systems modelling is also proposed.
