Bloch Sphere-Based Representation for Quantum Emotion Space

A Bloch Sphere-based Emotion Space (BSES), where two angles φ and θ in the Bloch sphere represent the emotion (such as happiness, surprise, anger, sadness, expectation, or relaxation in [0, 2π)) and its intensity (from neutral to maximum in [0, π]), respectively, is proposed. It exploits the psychological interpretation of color to assign a basic color to each emotion subspace such that the BSES can be visualized, and by using quantum gates, changes in emotions can be tracked and recovered. In an experimental validation, two typical human emotions, happiness and sadness, are analyzed and visualized using the BSES according to a preset emotional transmission model. A transition matrix that tracks emotional change can be used to control robots allowing them to adapt and respond to human emotions.

Quasiprobability Distribution

The fundamental concepts and operations of quantum information theory are considered in the framework of a phase space formulation of quantum mechanics, where the states of one or several qubits are represented by a specific continuous quasiprobability distribution function on the Bloch sphere or on its generalizations. The function we use is the spherical Wigner function. It is shown that the usual transformations of quantum information theory are certain rotations or more general transformations of this Wigner function. We show that the standard teleportation and dense coding protocols can be appropriately formulated in terms of the Wigner function.

Experimental Group

Introduction:Psychological impact of Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) for dialysis patients is rarely evaluated since the focus of many studies is on medical variables (i.e., adherence).Objectives:The aims of this study were: 1) to estimate the impact of a TPE program on knowledge, depression and anxiety, 2) to examine change in knowledge as a mediator of the effects of a TPE program on mental health.Method:This study was conducted in three hemodialysis units and comprised two groups: an experimental group with education and a control group with routine care. The program was based of 5 educative sessions. Knowledge, depressive and anxious symptoms were assessed with self-reported outcomes measured before and 3 months after the program.Results:The sample comprised 125 patients. Knowledge about vascular access and nutrition (p < 0.01) and depressive symptoms increased in the experimental group (p < 0.01). Analysis of mediation showed that changes in knowledge about vascular access were a significant mediator of the effects of the program on depressive symptoms (F = 4.90;p = 0.01).Discussion:Knowledge acquired during an educational program could lead to an emotional change. Improving knowledge often leads to an awareness of the risks that can modify the psychological state of patients by reminding them of their vulnerability. This study shows that it is required to be attentive to the way of transmitting knowledge. It’s necessary adapting this transmission to the needs of patients and promoting the acquisition of psychosocial competence too.Conclusion:This study shows that knowledge acquired during an educational program can lead to an emotional change in the short term. A long-term follow-up of the population should be interesting to observe these emotional effects.

Probabilistic Diagnosis

A system for probabilistic diagnosis of jaundice has been used for studying the effects of taking into account the unreliability of diagnostic data caused by observer variation. Fourteen features from history and physical examination were studied. Bayes’ theorem was used for calculating the probabilities of a patient’s belonging to each of four diagnostic categories.The construction sample consisted of 61 patients. An equal number of patients were tested in the evaluation sample. Observer variation on the fourteen features had been assessed in two previous studies. The use of kappa-statistics for measuring observer variation allowed the construction of a probability transition matrix for each feature. Diagnostic probabilities could then be calculated with and without the inclusion of weights for observer variation. Tests of system performance revealed that discriminatory power remained unchanged. However, the predictions rendered by the variation-weighted system were diffident. It is concluded that taking observer variation into account may weaken the sharpness of probabilistic diagnosis but it may also help to explain the value of probabilistic diagnosis in future applications.
