Description
Since its inception in the famous 1936 paper by Birkhoff and von Neumann entitled ?The logic of quantum mechanics? quantum logic, i.e.
the logical investigation of quantum mechanics, has undergone an enormous development. Various schools of thought and approaches have
emerged and there are a variety of technical results.
Quantum logic is a heterogeneous field of research ranging from investigations
which may be termed logical in the traditional sense to studies focusing on structures which are on the border between algebra and
logic. For the latter structures the term quantum structures is appropriate.
The chapters of this Handbook, which are authored by
the most eminent scholars in the field, constitute a comprehensive presentation of the main schools, approaches and results in the field
of quantum logic and quantum structures. Much of the material presented is of recent origin representing the frontier of the subject.
The present volume focuses on quantum structures. Among the structures studied extensively in this volume are, just to name a few,
Hilbert lattices, D-posets, effect algebras MV algebras, partially ordered Abelian groups and those structures underlying quantum probability.
Audience
Libraries, scholars from various fields as logic, philosophy of science, mathematics, physics, computer science, artificial intelligence
