Dear Colleagues,

One of the great foundational problems of quantum mechanics is the so-called measurement problem. The measurement problem can be considered the starting point of quantum logics that, on the basis of Von Neumann and Birkoff’s pioneering ideas, aims to provide a logical characterization to the measurement process. In more recent years, however, new approaches to quantum logic have been proposed, especially in the research area of quantum computing and more generally of quantum information science. The purpose of this special issue is to take stock of contemporary research on the problem of quantum measurement, both from the foundation of physics point of view (e.g. the alternative theories to the Copenhagen interpretation) and from the formal logical point of view.

The topics of the special issue are:

• Quantum Logics and the Copenaghen interpretation
• Quantum Logics and the many worlds interpretation
• Logics for quantum computing
• Extensions of quantum logics
• Proof theory of quantum logics
• category theories for quantum mechanics/computing
• modal logics for quantum mechanics/computing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
