Abstract
Using a field of mathematics called modern algebra designs and maintains classical computers. Over a hundred years, algebraists have studied for mathematical systems and they call them as Boolean algebras. The name Boolean algebra honors a fascinating English mathematician, George Boole because in 1854 he published a classic book, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which Are Founded Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities. Boole that has stated objective (intention) was to complete a mathematical analysis of logic. Boole’s investigation has enlightened the calculus of propositions and algebra of sets. In this book, we designate the algebra now used in the design and maintenance of quantum logical circuitry as Boolean algebra.
