The space of measurement outcomes as a spectrum for non-commutative algebras
Bas Spitters, Radboud University NijmegenQuantum Physics and Logic 2010, May 2010, University of Oxford
Bohrification defines a locale of hidden variables internal in a topos. We find that externally this is the space of partial measurement outcomes. By considering the not-not-sheafification, we obtain the space of measurement outcomes which coincides with the spectrum for commutative C*-algebras.
