A new approach to quantum logic.


9781904987536

A new approach to quantum logic In mathematical physics and quantum mechanics, quantum logic is a formalism for reasoning about propositions which takes the principles of quantum theory into account. This research area and its name originated in the 1936 paper by Garrett Birkhoff and John von Neumann, who were .

Over 18 months in 2004-05 at Kings College London, Engesser, D. M. Gabbay, and D. Lehmann developed a new way of looking at the connection between quantum mechanics quantum mechanics: see quantum theory.
quantum mechanics

Branch of mathematical physics that deals with atomic and subatomic systems. It is concerned with phenomena that are so small-scale that they cannot be described in classical terms, and it is
 and logic, and explain it here for the benefit of logicians, mathematicians, philosophers of science, and physicists. They begin with a crash course in logic for readers without a strong background in it. Other topics include some Hilbert space Noun 1. Hilbert space - a metric space that is linear and complete and (usually) infinite-dimensional
metric space - a set of points such that for every pair of points there is a nonnegative real number called their distance that is symmetric and satisfies the
 theory, propositions as operators, and aspects of quantum reality. There is no US distributor at this time.
