3.4.5.3 Quantum Logic
Quantum logic can be regarded as a kind of propositional logic suitable for understanding the apparent anomalies regarding quantum measurement, most notably those concerning composition of measurement operations of complementary variables. This research area and its name originated in the 1936 paper by Garrett Birkhoff (1911-1996) and John von Neumann (1903-1957), who attempted to reconcile some of the apparent inconsistencies of classical boolean logic with the facts related to measurement and observation in Quantum Mechanics.
