Topos theory and ‘neo-realist’ quantum theory
Topos theory, a branch of category theory, has been proposed as mathematical basis for the formulation of physical theories. In this article, we give a brief introduction to this approach, emphasising the logical aspects. Each topos serves as a ‘mathematical universe’ with an internal logic, which is used to assign truth-values to all propositions about a physical system. We show in detail how ...
متن کاملA topos for algebraic quantum theory
ing frames O (X ) coming from a topological space to general frames is a genuine generalization of the concept of a space, as plenty of frames exist tha t are not of the form O (X ). A simple example is the frame Oreg(R) of regular open subsets of R, i.e. of open subsets U with the property ——U = U, where —U is the interior of the complement of U . This may be contrasted with the situation for ...
متن کاملTopos-Theoretic Approaches to Quantum Theory
Starting from a naive investigation into the nature of experiments on a physical system one can argue that states of the system should pair nondegenerately with physical observables. This duality is closely related to that between space and quantity, or, geometry and algebra. In particular, it is grounded in the mathematical framework of both classical and quantum mechanics in the form of a pai...
متن کاملApplications of geometric logic to topos approaches to quantum theory
This document describes my 3-year project “Applications of geometric logic to topos approaches to quantum theory”, to start in 2009 with funding from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for a post-doctoral Research Assistant and a PhD studentship. After an overview of the background and programme of work, it leads on to a description of the high-grade postdoctoral ...
متن کاملTopos Theoretic Quantum Realism
Topos Quantum Theory (TQT) is standardly portrayed as a kind of ‘neo-realist’ reformulation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we study the extent to which TQT can really be characterised as a realist formulation of the theory, and examine the question of whether the kind of realism that is provided by TQT satisfies the philosophical motivations that are usually associated with the search for...
