Effects and Propositions

Understand

The quantum logical and quantum information-theoretic traditions have exerted an especially powerful influence on Bub's thinking about the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics.

• This paper discusses both the quantum logical and information-theoretic traditions from the point of view of their representational frameworks.
• I argue that it is at this level, at the level of its framework, that the quantum logical tradition has retained its centrality to Bub's thought.
• It is further argued that there is implicit in the quantum information-theoretic tradition a set of ideas that mark a genuinely new alternative to the framework of quantum logic.
