• Abstract: This paper introduces the Quantum Contextual Topos (QCT), a novel framework that extends traditional quantum logic by embedding contextual elements within a topos-theoretic structure. This framework seeks to provide a classically-obedient tool for exploring the logical foundations of quantum mechanics. The QCT framework aims to address the limitations of classical quantum logic, particularly its challenges in capturing the dynamic and contextual nature of quantum phenomena. By integrating modal operators and classical propositional logic within a topos structure, the QCT offers a unified approach to modeling quantum systems. The main result of this work is demonstrating that the internal logic of QCT corresponds to a form of classical propositional polymodal logic. We do this by generalizing Stone's Representation Theorem for a specific case of polymodal algebras and their underlying Stone Spaces.

• Quantum Entanglement Through the Lens of Paraconsistent Logic [0.0]
  This paper presents an alternative approach to quantum entanglement, one that effectively resolves the logical inconsistencies without leading to logical contradictions. By addressing some of the inconsistencies within quantum mechanics, such as state superposition and non-locality, our method is constructed on the principles of paraconsistent logic.

• Topological Quantum Gates in Homotopy Type Theory [0.0]
  We explain how the specification of realistic topological quantum gates has a surprisingly slick formulation in parameterized point-set topology. We propose that this confluence of concepts may jointly kickstart the development of topological quantum programming proper. In a companion article, we will explain how further passage to "dependent linear" homotopy data types naturally extends this scheme to a full-blown quantum programming/certification language.

  Building a quantum analog of classical deep neural networks represents a fundamental challenge in quantum computing. Key issue is how to address the inherent non-linearity of classical deep learning. We introduce the Quantum Path Kernel, a formulation of quantum machine learning capable of replicating those aspects of deep machine learning.

We show that the lattice of statistical propositions in classical mechanics follows the same structure, yielding an analogue non-commutative sublattice of classical propositions.

We prove that these rules, which have a computational and information-theoretic nature, are determined by the more physical notion of the signalling relations between the quantum systems.
