The structure of experimental tests in classical mechanics forms a Boolean algebra, but the structure of experimental tests in quantum mechanics forms a much more complicated structure.

Relationship to other logics

Quantum logic embeds into linear logic[1] and the modal logic B.{{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}} Indeed, modern logics for the analysis of quantum computation often begin with quantum logic, and attempt to graft desirable features of an extension of classical logic thereonto; the results then necessarily embed quantum logic.{{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}}{{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}}

The orthocomplemented lattice of any set of quantum propositions can be embedded into a Boolean algebra, which is then amenable to classical logic.[2]
