This note explores the structure of quantum mechanics axioms in continuous logic, suggesting parallels with first order logic frameworks.
The aim of this note is to recast somewhat informal axiom system of quantum mechanics used by physicists (Dirac calculus) in the language of Continuous Logic. We note an analogy between Tarski's notion of cylindric algebras, as a tool of algebraisation of first order logic, and Hilbert spaces which can serve the same purpose for continuous logic of physics.
