Is it True ; or is it False ; or Somewhere In Between ? The Logic of Quantum Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper contains a relatively non-technical summary of some recent work by the author and Jeremy Butterfield. The goal is to find a way of assigning meaningful truth values to propositions in quantum theory: something that is not possible in the normal, instrumentalist interpretation. The key mathematical tool is presheaf theory where, multi-valued, contextual truth values arise naturally. We show how this can be applied to quantum theory, with the 'contexts' chosen to be Boolean subalgebras of the set of all projection operators.

Popular method for assessment of final exam answer scripts in university and among the engineering drawing answer scripts based on absolute true or false judgment and assigning a single number or letter to answer of each problem cannot be so fair. To obtain a fair assessment method, we considered “imagination”, “accuracy”, “drawing” and “innovation” that are objectives of engineering dra...
متن کامل"Politics as a Virtue" In the Idea of Feyz-e- Kashani
Mullah Mohsen Faiz-e-Kashani (996-1077 AH) is one of the great Imami thinkers in the second period of the Safavid dynasty in Iran, who is influenced by two views of Sadra and Hadith’s philosophy. He has presented his thoughts on politics by relying on the traditions of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) and focusing on the virtues of Islamic philosophy. Thus, the main question of this article is how Feyz-e...
متن کاملA New Design for Two-input XOR Gate in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology is attractive due to its low power consumption, fast speed and small dimension, therefore, it is a promising alternative to CMOS technology. In QCA, configuration of charges plays the role which is played by current in CMOS. This replacement provides the significant advantages. Additionally, exclusive-or (XOR) gate is a useful building block in man...
متن کاملExtension of Logic regression to Longitudinal data: Transition Logic Regression
Logic regression is a generalized regression and classification method that is able to make Boolean combinations as new predictive variables from the original binary variables. Logic regression was introduced for case control or cohort study with independent observations. Although in various studies, correlated observations occur due to different reasons, logic regression have not been studi...

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) enables performing arithmetic and logic operations at the molecular scale. This nanotechnology promises high device density, low power consumption and high computational power. Unlike the CMOS technology where the ON and OFF states of the transistors represent binary information, in QCA, data is represented by the charge configuration. The primary and basic devic...
