Quantum Quantum Probability ― Quantum Logic

[bhobba]

I recently, via Zoom, watched a lecture on QM at Chapman University, supposedly on philosophy and QM. It was by Matt Leifer, a mathematician, so it didn't contain much philosophy but was mostly the math of QM. He talked about several things, but one was a book cited a lot in the literature - Quantum Probability ― Quantum Logic. Evidently, it is nearly all math. So he went to his school library (Chapman University) to get it. It was not there. He searched and searched and eventually found a copy, but it was not easy. When he got it, evidently, it was basically all math, and he now considers it mandatory reading.

I noted Amazon had it, so bought a copy:

I will let people know what I think when I get it.

Thanks

The work of Matt Leifer contains a lot of philosophy, just saying.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi All

Just got the book.

So far, it seems as advertised.

I will give a more detailed report later.

Thanks
