SOCIAL LASER THEORY: A QUANTUM-LIKE FRAMEWORK FOR COLLECTIVE SOCIAL DYNAMICS

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the Social Laser Theory (SLT) as a natural extension of the broader framework of Quantum-Like Modeling (QLM). While QLM applies the mathematical formalism of quantum theory — such as Hilbert space representations, interference, and non-commutative observables — to model context-dependent and non-classical phenomena in cognition, decision-making, and social behavior, SLT advances this approach by integrating concepts from quantum field theory. The the
