Domain theory, a subject that arose as a response to natural
concerns in the semantics of computation, studies ordered sets
which possess an unusual amount of mathematical structure. This
book explores its connection with quantum information science and
the concept that relates them: disorder. This is not a literary
work. It can be argued that its subject, domain theory and quantum
information science, does not even really exist, which makes the
scope of this alleged 'work' irrelevant. BUT, it does have a
purpose and to some extent, it can also be said to have a method. I
leave the determination of both of those largely to you, the
reader. Except to say, I am hoping to convince the uninitiated to
take a look. A look at what? Twenty years ago, I failed to
satisfactorily prove a claim that I still believe: that there is
substantial domain theoretic structure in quantum mechanics and
that we can learn a lot from it. One day it will be proven to the
point that people will be comfortable dismissing it as a
'well-known' idea that many (possibly including themselves) had
long suspected but simply never bothered to write down. They may
even call it "obvious!" I will not bore you with a brief history
lesson on why it is not obvious, except to say that we have never
been interested in the difficulty of proving the claim only in
establishing its validity. This book then documents various
attempts on my part to do just that.
