Abstract

We present recursion theoretical characterizations of the computational power of Turing machines in the framework of unsharp quantum logic. For unsharp quantum logic, let a lattice ordered quantum multiple valued (QMV) algebra be its truth value lattice. When lattice ordered QMV algebras satisfy a locally finite condition (that is, every non-zero element has a finite order) and its meet operation, ∧, is computable, we prove that Σ10∪Π10⊆LdT(E,Σ)(or LwT(E,Σ))⊆Π20, where LdT(E,Σ)(respectively LwT(E,Σ)) denotes the class of languages accepted by these Turing machines in the depth-first method (respectively the width-first method). For sharp quantum logic, similar results are obtained for a general orthomodular truth value lattice.
