Abstract
The mathematical structure of the sheaf of Dedekind real numbers for a quantum system is discussed. The algebra of physical qualities is represented by an algebra that acts on a Hilbert space that carries an irreducible representation of the symmetry group of the system. , the state space for , has the weak topology generated by the functions , defined for and , by . For any open subset of , the function is the numerical value of the quality defined to the extent . The example of the quantum real numbers for a single Galilean relativistic particle is given.
