One of us has shown that the statistical properties of the measurements of a quantum mechanical system assume their simplest form when expressed in terms of a certain hypercomplex algebra which is…
The Logic of Quantum Mechanics
- G. Birkhoff, J. Neumann
- Philosophy
- 1 October 1936
One of the aspects of quantum theory which has attracted the most general attention, is the novelty of the logical notions which it presupposes. It asserts that even a complete mathematical…
