Our Research Papers:

A. Baltag and S. Smets: "What can Logic Learn from Quantum Mechanics?", this paper was presented at the ECAP05' workshop on quantum information. This is a paper written for philosophers and logicians (although it lacks most technicalities). Here we presented the main idea behind dynamic quantum logic.

A. Baltag and S. Smets: "LQP: The Dynamic Logic of Quantum Information", to appear in Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, Special Issue on Quantum Programming Languages. This paper deals mainly with the compound-system case and is written for a "computer science" and "quantum computation"-audience. (I guess one should actually first try to read the paper below on Complete Axiomatixations for Quantum Actions)

A. Baltag and S. Smets: "Complete Axiomatizations for Quantum Actions", to appear in the proceedings of IQSA2004, International Journal of Theoretical Physics. This paper deals only with single quantum systems, it begins with a good introduction and an overview of the idea behind quantum dynamic logic. The paper is written for quantum logicians and theoretical physicists.
