Abstract

Effect algebras form a formal algebraic description of the structure of the so-called effects in a Hilbert space which serve as an event-state space for effects in quantum mechanics. This is why effect algebras are considered as logics of quantum mechanics, more precisely as an algebraic semantics of these logics. Because every productive logic is equipped with implication, we introduce here such a concept and demonstrate its properties. In particular, we show that this implication is connected with conjunction via a certain “unsharp” residuation which is formulated on the basis of a strict unsharp residuated poset. Though this structure is rather complicated, it can be converted back into an effect algebra and hence it is sound. Further, we study the Modus Ponens rule for this implication by means of so-called deductive systems and finally we study the contraposition law.
