This chapter illustrates those concepts of information retrieval which can be intersected with the quantum mechanical framework. In particular, the main notions of the most important modeling approaches to designing and implementing information retrieval systems are explained in this chapter before they are revisited, generalized, and extended within the quantum mechanical framework in the following chapters. After introducing the core concepts of information retrieval, we introduce the Boolean model and logic, the vector space model, the main probabilistic models, and briefly the machine learning approach to ranking documents. The chapter ends with some suggestions for further reading.
