Quantum structure
As quantum structure is known in theoretical quantum physics and the philosophy of science a special perspective. It comprises the description of the underlying mathematical theory and its logic , detached from the specific application . Through the abstraction to quantum structures, structural similarities between different sub-areas, e.g. B. algebra , probability theory and modal logic are generalized and examined, and findings are transferred to other applications.

organization
Numerous scientists worldwide have been dealing with these subject areas for around 60 years, primarily in Italy , Germany , Switzerland , Slovakia , Canada and the USA . Most of them are members of the International Quantum Structures Association (IQSA), which was founded in 1991 and has held biennial international conferences since 1992, the results of which are published in special issues of the International Journal of Theoretical Physics . The American physicist David Finkelstein was the long-time director of this journal and IQSA . Since 2012, the IQSA has awarded the Birkhoff-von-Neumann-Prize (after Garrett Birkhoff and Johann von Neumann ) every two years for special merits in the field of quantum mechanical basic research.
