A continuous domain of classical states

Keye Martin

Abstract

We introduce an omega-continuous dcpo of classical states whose order is clearly demonstrable as a continuous form of logical implication. It has Shannon entropy as a measurement and can also be used to analyze Grover's algorithm for quantum searching. The fact that the n-simplex can be naturally given the structure of a continuous domain allows for the possibility of applying many well understood techniques in applications.
