We introduce contextual values as a generalization of the eigenvalues of an observable that takes into account both the system observable and a general measurement procedure. This technique leads to a natural definition of a general…
In this paper, we introduce a new definition of sheaves on semicartesian quantales, providing first examples and categorical properties. We note that our sheaves are similar to the standard definition of a sheaf on a locale, however, we…
Isham's topos-theoretic perspective on the logic of the consistent-histories theory is extended in two ways. First, the presheaves of consistent sets of history propositions in the topos proposed by Isham are endowed with a Vietoris-type of…
In this paper, we construct a sheaf-based topos quantum theory. It is well known that a topos quantum theory can be constructed on the topos of presheaves on the category of commutative von Neumann algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert…
The topos approach to the formulation of physical theories includes a new form of quantum logic. We present this topos quantum logic, including some new results, and compare it to standard quantum logic, all with an eye to conceptual…
In the paper, a value assignment for projection operators relating to a quantum system is equated with assignment of truth-values to the propositions associated with these operators. In consequence, the Kochen-Specker theorem (its localized…
This paper is the third in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of viewing theories of physics. Our basic contention is that constructing a theory of physics is equivalent to finding a representation in a topos of a…
We present a mathematical framework based on quantum interval-valued probability measures to study the effect of experimental imperfections and finite precision measurements on defining aspects of quantum mechanics such as contextuality and…
The overwhelming majority of the attempts in exploring the problems related to quantum logical structures and their interpretation have been based on an underlying set-theoretic syntactic language. We propose a transition in the involved…
Family of quasi-arithmetic means has a natural, partial order (point-wise order) $A^{[f]}\le A^{[g]}$ if and only if $A^{[f]}(v)\le A^{[g]}(v)$ for all admissible vectors $v$ ($f,\,g$ and, later, $h$ are continuous and monotone and defined…
In this essay, I develop order-theoretic notions of determinism and contextuality on domains and topoi. In the process, I develop a method for quantifying contextuality and show that the order-theoretic sense of contextuality is analogous…
The Kochen-Specker theorem shows the impossibility for a hidden variable theory to consistently assign values to certain (finite) sets of observables in a way that is non-contextual and consistent with quantum mechanics. If we require…
Topos quantum mechanics, developed by Isham et. al., creates a topos of presheaves over the poset V(N) of abelian von Neumann subalgebras of the von Neumann algebra N of bounded operators associated to a physical system, and established…
The theory of quantum mechanics is examined using non-standard real numbers, called quantum real numbers (qr-numbers), that are constructed from standard Hilbert space entities. Our goal is to resolve some of the paradoxical features of the…
Kochen-Specker theorems assure the breakdown of certain types of non-contextual hidden variable theories through the non-existence of global, holistic frame functions; alas they do not allow us to identify where this breakdown occurs, nor…
Recently we proposed quantum language(or, measurement theory), which is characterized as the linguistic turn of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Also, we consider that this is a kind of system theory such that it is…
In this thesis we use the language of sheaf theory in order to develop a deeper understanding of some of the fundamental differences - such as entanglement, contextuality and non-locality - between quantum and classical physics. We first…
Moffat recently commented on our previous work. Our work focused on how laying the foundations of our evaluation methodology into the theory of measurement can improve our knowledge and understanding of the evaluation measures we use in IR…
This is a series of lecture notes explaining topos theory and its application in physics.
We study the homotopy theory of locally ordered spaces, that is manifolds with boundary whose charts are partially ordered in a compatible way. Their category is not particularly well-behaved with respect to colimits. However, this category…
