Zusammenfassung:Quantum measure spaces possess a certain "quantum weirdness" and lack some of the simplicity and intuitive nature of their classical counterparts. Much of this unusual behavior is due to a phenomenon called quantum interference, which is a recurrent theme in the present article. Because of this interference, quantum measures need not be additive but satisfy a more general condition called grade-2 additivity. Examples of quantum measure spaces such as "quantum coins" and particle-an tip article pairs are considered. Even more general spaces called super-quantum measure spaces are discussed. You don't need quantum mechanics or measure theory to understand this article.
