Advances in a quantum information-based color perception theory

Abstract

In this contribution it is shown how a recent quantum information-based theory of color perception permits to account in a natural way for several well-known properties and also to predict new ones. The quantum model is based on a completely different paradigm with respect to the one followed in classical colorimetry and it relies on the hypothesis that color sensations are the result of (perceptual) quantum measurements performed by human observers.
