Palgrave Handbook of Quantum Models in Social Science

Emmanuel Haven is a Professor at the School of Management at the University of Leicester, UK, and Secretary of the Institute for Quantum Social and Cognitive Science (IQSCS) at the University of Leicester. Emmanuel has (co)- authored papers in a variety of journals including the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control; Journal of Mathematical Psychology; European Journal of Operational Research; Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications; Foundations of Physics; Physica Scripta and New Scientist. He is co-author of Quantum Social Science with Andrei Khrennikov (Cambridge University Press).Andrei Khrennikov is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at Linnaeus University, Sweden, and Director of the International Center for Mathematical Modelling in Physics, Engineering, Economics and Cognitive Science. His main research interests are in the areas of quantum probability, mathematical models in quantum foundations and quantum information. He has published widely in the areas of quantum mechanics, and has (co)-authored over 300 papers in journals such as the Journal of Number Theory; Foundations of Physics; Theoretical and Mathematical Physics; Journal of Mathematical Psychology; Journal of Mathematical Economics; Journal of Theoretical Biology  and New Scientist. He also published several monographs in the foundations of quantum theory and its applications to decision making, psychology, and economics and biology.

“The book presents a collection of mostly independent articles on various topics under a generic umbrella of quantum models for social sciences. … The whole monograph is incredibly interesting and innovative, with each chapter containing extensive bibliography covering in total many hundreds of sources. The book presents a collection of modern methods of quantum physics, which can be very useful and inspiring for students and researchers in various fields.” (Stan Lipovetsky, Technometrics, Vol. 59 (4), November, 2017)
