On the application of quantum decision making to artificial life

In this paper we are interested in examining some of the benefits of combining artificial life with quantum decision making. After providing an introduction to quantum computing, we attempt to decompose and list those features of a quantum decision maker which we believe are important to an artificial life form, and, from this, we describe a simple abstract interface for such a decision maker. Following this, we describe how a quantum decision maker, supporting such an interface, may be used to operate artificial life forms. We conclude by describing our own experiments in this field including quantum flocking behaviors and robotics. In both cases we will observe complex and interesting behaviors arise from the quantum model despite being given very basic behavioral rules.
