The present volume has its origins in a pair of informal workshops
held at the Free University of Brussels, in June of 1998 and May of
1999, named "Current Research 1 in Operational Quantum Logic."
These brought together mathematicians and physicists working in
operational quantum logic and related areas, as well as a number of
interested philosophers of science, for a rare opportunity to
discuss recent developments in this field. After some discussion,
it was decided that, rather than producing a volume of conference
proceedings, we would try to organize the conferees to produce a
set of comprehensive survey papers, which would not only report on
recent developments in quantum logic, but also provide a tutorial
overview of the subject suitable for an interested non-specialist
audience. The resulting volume provides an overview of the concepts
and methods used in current research in quantum logic, viewed both
as a branch of mathemati cal physics and as an area of pure
mathematics. The first half of the book is concerned with the
algebraic side of the subject, and in particular the theory of
orthomodular lattices and posets, effect algebras, etc. In the
second half of the book, special attention is given to categorical
methods and to connections with theoretical computer science. At
the 1999 workshop, we were fortunate to hear three excellent
lectures by David J. Foulis, represented here by two contributions.
Dave's work, spanning 40 years, has helped to define, and continues
to reshape, the field of quantum logic."
