The conceptual duality between the subset and partition lattices can also be expressed using the metaphysical notions of “substance” and “form.” TwoLattices. Just like one should start from pseudo-Riemannian geometry in systematically developing General Relativity, one should start from von Neumann's quantum logics in systematically developing Quantum Theory. We show in the paper, that is indeed the message of quantum mechanics. The basic system of ordinary logic, which is now almost invariably called “propositional” . These two Letters are important early contributions to the development of quantum cryptography, the use of the properties of quantum mechanics to provide secure keys for encrypting communications. For further discussion of these results and of additional . Classes are over for the semester, and I've put together the lecture notes for my undergraduate “Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians” course, which are available here. How needed is a better conceptual foundation for QM ? (1966), The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics, McGraw-Hill: 166 – 180. (1974), The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics, Wiley & Sons: 109. This interpretation of QM grew out of work in mathematical logic that was developed without any thought of a connection with quantum mechanics. It has led to a number of surprising results in the application of thermodynamic concepts to small systems, with many contributions by workers in statistical mechanics.
