We present a way to apply quantum logic to the study of quantum programs. This is made possible by using an extension of the usual propositional language in order to make transformations performed on the system appear explicitly. This way, the evolution of the system becomes part of the logical study. We show how both unitary operations and two-valued measurements can be included in this formalism and can thus be handled logically.

The Logic of Quantum Programs
TLDR
A dynamic logic that is capable of dealing with quantum measurements, unitary evolutions and entanglements in compound quantum systems is introduced and a sound proof system for this logic is presented.
A Logic for Formal Verification of Quantum Programs
TLDR
This paper provides a Hoare-style logic for quantum computation that proves properties of well-known algorithms and is an extension of the probabilistic Hoare -style logic defined by den Hartog.

A Logic for Recursive Quantum Programs
TLDR
This paper presents a logic for recursive quantum programs, an extension of quantum Hoare logic for quantum While-programs, and its effectiveness is shown by a running example: fixed-point Grover's search.
Quantum Temporal Logic
TLDR
A model of quantum concurrent program is introduced, which can be used to model the behaviour of reactive quantum systems and to design quantum compilers, and a quantum Bohm-Jacopini theorem is proved which states that any such program is equivalent to a Q-While program.
A Quantum Interpretation of Bunched Logic & Quantum Separation Logic
TLDR
A model of the substructural logic of Bunched Implications that is suitable for reasoning about quantum states and develops a program logic where pre- and post-conditions are BI formulas describing quantum states.
Hoare Logic for Quantum Programs
TLDR
It is proved that this logic is (relatively) complete by exploiting the power of weakest preconditions and weakest liberal precondition for quantum programs.
Representation Systems, Orthoposets and Quantum Logic
TLDR
A special form of these structures is used to define a method for decomposing orthoposets into boolean algebras, in such a way that it permits to consider more properties about a quantum system than using usual methods.

Elementary gates for quantum computation.
TLDR
U(2) gates are derived, which derive upper and lower bounds on the exact number of elementary gates required to build up a variety of two- and three-bit quantum gates, the asymptotic number required for n-bit Deutsch-Toffoli gates, and make some observations about the number of unitary operations on arbitrarily many bits.
