Experimental Approach to Quantum-Logical Connectives

  • Chapter
Alternative Logics. Do Sciences Need Them?

Abstract

This paper concerns an alternative logic, called “quantum logic”, the general framework of which is presented by Peter Mittelstaedt in his contribution “Does Quantum Physics require a New Logic?”. Starting with the pragmatic possibilities of the speaker of a language about the properties of a quantum-physical system who is also an observer of the system, a proof process semantics can be developed and a formal language can be constituted, the internal structure of which gives raise to the “new” quantum logic.
