#ScheibePopperAndQuantumLogic-2
"This paper is NOT written in order to vindicate #QuantumLogic. Rather it is written to rebut a mistaken criticism of quantum logic. The criticism is due to Popper ([1968]) and it concerns a classical paper by #Birkhoff and #vonNeumann ([1936]).

(1) the philosophical problem whether quantum mechanics involves a non-classical #logic, the so-called #QuantumLogic

But until recently one thing has NEVER been called in question, in either the philosopher's or the mathematician's camp, namely that

And yet ,surprisingly, the semantics of such circuits is not perfectly understood, in a sense which will be made clear immediately.
