This advanced course, a sequel to the first volume of this lecture
series on topos quantum theory, delves deeper into the theory,
addressing further technical aspects and recent advances. These
include, but are not limited to, the development of physical
quantities and self-adjoint operators; insights into the
quantization process; the description of an alternative, covariant
version of topos quantum theory; and last but not least, the
development of a new concept of spacetime. The book builds on the
concepts introduced in the first volume (published as Lect. Notes
Phys. 868), which presents the main building blocks of the theory
and how it could provide solutions to interpretational problems in
quantum theory, such as: What are the main conceptual issues in
quantum theory? And how can these issues be solved within a new
theoretical framework of quantum theory? These two volumes together
provide a complete, basic course on topos quantum theory, offering
a set of mathematical tools to readers interested in tackling
fundamental issues in quantum theory in general, and in quantum
gravity in particular. From the reviews of the first volume: The
book is self-contained and can be used as a textbook or self-study
manual teaching the usage of category theory and topos theory, in
particular in theoretical physics or in investigating the
foundations of quantum theory in mathematically rigorous terms.
[The] book is a very welcome contribution. Frank Antonsen,
