Pavelka-style completeness in expansions of \L ukasiewicz logic

An algebraic setting for the validity of Pavelka style completeness for some natural expansions of \L ukasiewicz logic by new connectives and rational constants is given. This algebraic approach is based on the fact that the standard MV-algebra on the real segment $[0, 1]$ is an injective MV-algebra. In particular the logics associated with MV-algebras with product and with divisible MV-algebras are considered

Fuzzy approach for CNOT gate in quantum computation with mixed states

In the framework of quantum computation with mixed states, a fuzzy representation of CNOT gate is introduced. In this representation, the incidence of non-factorizability is specially investigated.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure

The Contextual Character of Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

In this article we discuss the contextual character of quantum mechanics in the framework of modal interpretations. We investigate its historical origin and relate contemporary modal interpretations to those proposed by M. Born and W. Heisenberg. We present then a general characterization of what we consider to be a modal interpretation. Following previous papers in which we have introduced modalities in the Kochen-Specker theorem, we investigate the consequences of these theorems in relation to the modal interpretations of quantum mechanics.Comment: 21 pages, no figures, preprint submitted to SHPM

Two-valued states on Baer ∗^*-semigroups

In this paper we develop an algebraic framework that allows us to extend families of two-valued states on orthomodular lattices to Baer $^*$-semigroups. We apply this general approach to study the full class of two-valued states and the subclass of Jauch-Piron two-valued states on Baer $^*$-semigroups.Comment: Reports on mathematical physics (accepted 2013

Pattern Recognition In Non-Kolmogorovian Structures

We present a generalization of the problem of pattern recognition to arbitrary probabilistic models. This version deals with the problem of recognizing an individual pattern among a family of different species or classes of objects which obey probabilistic laws which do not comply with Kolmogorov's axioms. We show that such a scenario accommodates many important examples, and in particular, we provide a rigorous definition of the classical and the quantum pattern recognition problems, respectively. Our framework allows for the introduction of non-trivial correlations (as entanglement or discord) between the different species involved, opening the door to a new way of harnessing these physical resources for solving pattern recognition problems. Finally, we present some examples and discuss the computational complexity of the quantum pattern recognition problem, showing that the most important quantum computation algorithms can be described as non-Kolmogorovian pattern recognition problems

An Holistic Extension for Classical Logic via Quantum Fredkin Gate

An holistic extension for classical propositional logic is introduced in the framework of quantum computation with mixed states. The mentioned extension is obtained by applying the quantum Fredkin gate to non-factorizable bipartite states. In particular, an extended notion of classical contradiction is studied in this holistic framework
