TLDR
In this paper, a connection between quantum set theory and topos quantum theory was established by Ozawa, Takeuti and Titani, who studied algebraic valued set-theoretic structures whose truth values correspond to clopen subobjects of the spectral presheaf of an orthomodular lattice of projections onto a given Hilbert space.Abstract:
In this paper, we will attempt to establish a connection between quantum set theory, as developed by Ozawa, Takeuti and Titani, and topos quantum theory, as developed by Isham, Butterfield and Doring, amongst others. Towards this end, we will study algebraic valued set-theoretic structures whose truth values correspond to the clopen subobjects of the spectral presheaf of an orthomodular lattice of projections onto a given Hilbert space. In particular, we will attempt to recreate, in these new structures, Takeuti's original isomorphism between the set of all Dedekind real numbers in a suitably constructed model of set theory and the set of all self adjoint operators on a chosen Hilbert space.read more

A Bridge Between Q-Worlds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a unifying framework that allows us to better understand the relationship between different Q-worlds, and define a general method for transferring concepts and results between TQT and QST, thereby significantly increasing the expressive power of both approaches.

A Generalisation of Stone Duality to Orthomodular Lattices
Sarah Cannon,Andreas Döring +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the assignment of a complete orthomodular lattice L to a spectral presheaf is contravariant functorial, and that the clopen subobjects form a complete bi-Heyting algebra.

A Bridge between Q-Worlds
TL;DR: A unifying framework is provided that allows to better understand the relationship between different Q-worlds, and a general method for transferring concepts and results between TQT and QST is defined, thereby significantly increasing the expressive power of both approaches.

Quantum set theory: Transfer Principle and De Morgan's Laws
Masanao Ozawa,Masanao Ozawa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new truth value assignment for bounded quantifiers that satisfies De Morgan's Laws was proposed, and it was shown that this assignment has a lower bound determined by the commutator, a projection-valued degree of commutativity, of constants in the formula.

“What is a Thing?”: Topos Theory in the Foundations of Physics
A. Döring,C. J. Isham +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarise the first steps in developing a fundamentally new way of constructing theories of physics and provide a new answer to Heidegger's timeless question "What is a thing?"
