In light of recent development in purely perception based models of collective motion using perception vectors, we suggest a quantum-inspired model of collective behaviour. We investigate the alignment of self-propelled agents by introducing quantum entanglement in the perceptual states of neighboring agents within each agent's vision cone. In this framework, we propose that the force acting on active agents is proportional to the quantum expectation value of perception operator encoding perceptual dynamics that drives alignment within the flock. Additionally, we introduce two quantum mechanical measures-perception strength and perceptual energy-to characterize collective behavior. Our model demonstrates that, with an appropriate choice of the entangled state, the well-known Vicsek model of flocking behavior can be derived as a specific case of this quantum-inspired approach. This approach provides fresh insights into swarm intelligence and multi-agent coordination, revealing how classical patterns of collective behavior emerge naturally from entangled perceptual states.
