 \section{Quantum logic topoi}
\begin{definition}
A \emph{\htmladdnormallink{quantum logic}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/TheoryOfHilbertLattices.html} \htmladdnormallink{topos}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/GrothendieckTopos.html}} (\emph{QLT}) is defined as an extension of the \htmladdnormallink{concept}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/PreciseIdea.html} of topos in which the Heyting logic algebra (or subobject classifier) of the standard \htmladdnormallink{elementary topos}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/GrothendieckTopos.html} is replaced by a \emph{quantum logic}which is axiomatically defined by \emph{\htmladdnormallink{non-commutative}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/AbelianCategory3.html} and non-distributive} lattice structures.
\end{definition}

\subsection{Remark}

Quantum logic topoi are thus generalizations of the Birkhoff and von Neumann definition of \htmladdnormallink{quantum state spaces}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/QuantumSpinNetworkFunctor2.html} based on their definition of a quantum logic (lattice), as well as a \emph{\htmladdnormallink{non-Abelian}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/NonAbelianQuantumAlgebraicTopology3.html}}, higher dimensional extension of the recently proposed concept of a `\htmladdnormallink{quantum' topos}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/QuantumCategories.html} which employs the (\emph{commutative}) \htmladdnormallink{Heyting logic algebra as a subobject classifier}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/SUSY2.html}.
