Quantum mechanics is said to be the most successful physical theory ever. It is, in fact, unique in its success when applied to concrete physical problems. On the other hand, however, it raises profound conceptual problems that are equally unprecedented. Quantum logic, the topic of this volume, can be described as an attempt to cast light on the puzzle of quantum mechanics from the point of view of logic. Since its inception in the famous 1936 paper by Birkhoff and von Neumann entitled, “The logic of quantum mechanics, quantum logic has undergone an enormous development. Various schools of thought and approaches have emerged, and there are a variety of technical results. The chapters of this volume constitute a comprehensive presentation of the main schools, approaches and results in the field of quantum logic. • Authored by eminent scholars in the field • Material presented is of recent origin representing the frontier of the subject. • Provides the most comprehensive and varied discussion of Quantum Mechanics available.

Event-based control is a means to reduce the information exchange over the feedback link in networked control systems in order to avoid an overload of the digital network which generally degrades the performance of the overall control loop. This thesis presents a novel state-feedback approach to event-based control which allows approximating a continuous-time state-feedback loop with arbitrary precision while adapting the communication over the feedback link to the effect of unknown disturbances. The focus of this thesis lies in complementing the event-based state-feedback control by deriving new properties, proposing alternative methods for the analysis and improving the components of the closed-loop system. Moreover, suitable strategies are proposed to deal with imprecise information about the plant and imperfect communication links. The theoretical results are evaluated by simulations and experiments using a thermofluid process.
