== Limitations == Although many treatments of quantum logic assume that the underlying lattice must be orthomodular, such logics cannot handle multiple interacting quantum systems. In an example due to Foulis and Randall, there are orthomodular propositions with finite-dimensional Hilbert models whose pairing admits no orthomodular model.{{sfn|Wilce}} Likewise, quantum logic with the orthomodular law falsifies the [[deduction theorem]].{{sfn|Kalmbach|1981}} Quantum logic admits no reasonable [[material conditional]]; any [[logical connective|connective]] that is [[monotonicity of entailment|monotone]] in a certain technical sense reduces the class of propositions to a [[Boolean algebra (structure)|Boolean algebra]].<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF00733278.pdf | doi=10.1007/BF00733278 | title=Quantum logic revisited | year=1991 | last1= Román| first1=L. | last2=Rumbos | first2=B. | journal=Foundations of Physics | volume=21 | issue=6 | pages=727–734 | bibcode=1991FoPh...21..727R | s2cid=123383431 }}</ref> Consequently, quantum logic struggles to represent the passage of time.<ref name=linear /> One possible workaround is the theory of [[Belavkin equation|quantum filtrations]] developed in the late 1970s and 1980s by [[Viacheslav Belavkin|Belavkin]].<ref> * {{cite journal | author = V.
