Title: Relating algebraic quantum logic structures
Abstract. Different quantum structures emphasize different aspects of a quantum system, making it easier for us to reason about those emphasized aspects. The original quantum logics are defined on orthomodular lattices, which generalize the orthocomplemented lattice structure of closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert space. These subspaces represent the testable properties of a quantum system and emphasize static properties of a quantum system. Quantales offer a dynamic perspective of a quantum system, and a quantale-module illustrates the effects of quantum actions and may serve as an algebraic semantics for dynamic quantum logics. A complemented quantale augments a quantale with an orthocomplementation-inducing unary operator. This talk discusses two complemented quantales that are each equivalent to complete orthomodular lattices and account for two basic classes of functions of quantum computation: projectors and unitary operators.
Hope to see you there!
