Quantum Creativity and Cognition in Humans and Robots

In this research, we present a categorical framework to connect research on creativity and cognition for humans and robots, in light of the quantum paradigm. These fields and their relationships suggest a wider vision: modeling human creativity/cognition through quantum computing, and creating robots that can help us learn more about the humans themselves. We represent the human-robot comparison through functors (function gen- eralization). Fundamental elements to understand human creativity are motivation and feedback as aesthetic pleasure. Is it possible to model it? Can the quantum paradigm help us in such an endeavor? We envisage the concept of emergence and quantum com- puting as decisive keys for creativity. Investigation of robotic models, including swarms of robots, might help shed new light on human creative interactions.
