| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students will have a in-depth knowledge of algebraic quantum theory. They know its application in different areas. They can assess the importance of algebraic quantum theory in the context of artificial intelligence. |
| Contents: | Algebraic quantum theory, i.e. the theory of operator algebras and their representations is an important branch of modern functional analysis, connecting non-commutative algebra with topology, measure theory and lattice theory. In the past, many applications in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory have been developed. Yet most recently, algebraic quantum theory appears as a powerful framework for artificial intelligence and cognitive dynamical systems as well. The lecture elucidates the basic concepts of algebraic quantum theory, such as observable algebras, representation theory, and contextual emergence in the light of present and future applications.
Outline- The ideas of pioneer quantum theory as motivation: Systems, state preparation, measurement, dynamics. Operator algebras on Hilbert space.
- Coordinate-free (Dirac) and representation-free (von Neumann) descriptions: C*-algebras, W*-algebras, GNS-construction and representation theory.
- Classical dynamical systems: symbolic dynamics, neural automata and vector symbolic architectures.
- Contextual emergence: context states, weak topologies, singular perturbations, emergent descriptions.
- Projector lattices: ontology inference for cognitive dynamical systems.
