Our Current Research

We are working to solve the current problems of the theory of orthomodular algebraic structures or optical properties of algebras and measurement theory built on these structures. These topics are motivated by quantum theory. We are one of the few teams in the world which combines the methods of functional analysis (continuous structure) and algebra and combinatorics (discrete structures) in the study of quantum mechanics. We achieve significant results touching several disciplines.

Purpose

The research results are in the study of the axiomatic foundations of quantum theory, in quantum measurement theory, in the quantum theory of measurement, quantum information theory and cybernetics.

Our Projects

  • Measure theory on the von Neumann algebras (convergence theorem)
  • Geometry of state spaces of C*-algebras and Jordan's algebras
  • Specific logic (Dynkins systems)
  • General quantum logic, compatibility, state space, noncommutative probability
  • The construction of quantum logics
  • Hilbert and Prehilbert spaces
  • The independence of the optical properties of algebras in quantum field theory
