An Holistic Extension for Classical Logic via Quantum Fredkin Gate

Héctor Freytes, Giuseppe Sergioli

Published Sep 7, 2021• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

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.

Holistic Type Extension for Classical Logic via Toffoli Quantum Gate

Héctor Freytes, Roberto Giuntini, Giuseppe Sergioli

A holistic extension of classical propositional logic is introduced via Toffoli quantum gate. This extension is based on the framework of the so-called "quantum computation with mixed states", where also irreversible transformations are taken into account. Formal aspects of this new logical system are detailed: in particular, the concepts of tautology and contradiction are investigated in this extension. These concepts turn out to receive substantial changes due to the non-separability of some quantum states; as an example, Werner states emerge as particular cases of "holistic" contradiction.

Holistic type extension for classical propositional logic in quantum computation

Héctor Freytes, Roberto Giuntini, Giuseppe Sergioli

A holistic extension of classical propositional logic is introduced in the framework of quantum computation with mixed states. The concepts of tautology and contradiction are investigated in this extensions. A special family of quantum states are investigated as particular cases of "holistic" contradiction.

Fuzzy approach to quantum Fredkin gate

Giuseppe Sergioli, Héctor Freytes

In the framework of quantum computation with mixed states, we introduce a fuzzy approach to the quantum Fredkin gate. Under this perspective, we investigate the behaviour of the gate applied to factorized and non-factorized quantum states.

A holistic quantum computational semantics

María Luisa Dalla Chiara, Roberto Giuntini, Roberto Leporini

Does quantum holism give rise to new forms of abstract holistic semantics? This question can be discussed in the framework of quantum computational logics, non-standard versions of quantum logic that have been suggested by the theory of logical gates in quantum computation. The basic idea of the quantum computational semantics is the following: meanings of sentences are identified with quantum information quantities, represented by pure or mixed states of special quantum systems. In particular cases, the meaning of a sentence may correspond to an entangled state. On this basis, one can formally describe some typical holistic semantic situations, where the meaning of the whole determines the meanings of its parts, but generally not vice versa.

Quantum logics with bounded additive operators

Roberto Leporini

The theory of gates in quantum computation has suggested new forms of quantum logic, called quantum computational logics, where the meaning of a sentence is identified with a system of qubits in a pure or, more generally, mixed state. In this framework, any formula of the language gives rise to a quantum circuit that transforms the state associated to the atomic subformulas into the state associated to the formula and vice versa. On this bases, some holistic semantic situations can be described, where the meaning of whole determine the meaning of the parts, by non-linear and anti-unitary operators. We prove that the semantics with such operators and the semantics with unitary operators turn out to characterize the same logic.

LOGICS FROM QUANTUM COMPUTATION WITH BOUNDED ADDITIVE OPERATORS
