Square Root Of "Not": A Major Difference Between Fuzzy And Quantum Logics, Vladik Kreinovich, Ladislav J. Kohout, Eunjin Kim Jul 2009

Square Root Of "Not": A Major Difference Between Fuzzy And Quantum Logics, Vladik Kreinovich, Ladislav J. Kohout, Eunjin Kim

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Many authors have mentioned the similarity between quantum logic and fuzzy logic. In this paper, we show that, in spite of this similarity, these logics are not identical. Specifically, we emphasize that while quantum logic has a special ``square root of not'' operation which is very useful in quantum computing, fuzzy logic lacks such an operation.


Quantum Computing As A Particular Case Of Computing With Tensors, Martine Ceberio, Vladik Kreinovich Jan 2009

Quantum Computing As A Particular Case Of Computing With Tensors, Martine Ceberio, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

One of the main potential applications of uncertainty in computations is quantum computing. In this paper, we show that the success of quantum computing can be explained by the fact that quantum states are, in effect, tensors.
