- Abstract: This paper presents a substructural logic of sequents with very restricted
exchange and weakening rules. It is sound with respect to sequences of
measurements of a quantic system. A sound and complete semantics is provided.
The semantic structures include a binary relation that expresses orthogonality
between elements and enables the definition of an operation that generalizes
the projection operation in Hilbert spaces. The language has a unitary
connective, a sort of negation, and two dual binary connectives that are
neither commutative nor associative, sorts of conjunction and disjunction. This
provides a logic for quantum measurements whose proof theory is aesthetically
pleasing.

In this paper, we aim to characterize the gates of quantum Reed-Muller (RM) codes by exploiting the well-studied properties of their classical counterparts.
A set of stabilizer generators for a RM code can be described via $X$ and $Z$ operators acting on subcubes of particular dimensions.

We describe a natural emergence of Hermiticity which is rooted in principles of equivariant homotopy theory.
This construction of Hermitian forms requires of the ambient linear type theory nothing further than a negative unit term of tensor unit type.
We show how this allows for encoding (and verifying) the unitarity of quantum gates and of quantum channels in quantum languages embedded into LHoTT.

We are able to pinpoint exactly what each notion of incompatibility consists of, in terms of information-theoretic resources.

The formalism of quantum theory over discrete systems is extended in two significant ways.
tensors and traceouts are generalized, so that systems can be partitioned according to almost arbitrary logical predicates.
The interrelations between the notions of unitarity, complete positivity, trace-preservation, non-signalling causality, locality and localizability that are standard in quantum theory be jeopardized as the neighbourhood and partitioning between systems become both quantum, dynamical, and logical.

Orthomodular logic is a weakening of quantum logic in the sense of Birkhoff and von Neumann.
It is shown to be a nonlinear noncommutative logic.
It is extended to two systems of predicate logic: the first is sound for Takeuti's quantum set theory, and the second is sound for a variant of Weaver's quantum logic.

We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness.
This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states.
In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
