Further remarks on an order for quantum observables

Abstract

S. Gudder and, later, S. Pulmanova and E. Vincekova, have studied in two recent papers a certain ordering of bounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. We present some further results on this ordering and show that some structure theorems of the ordered set of operators can be obtained in a more abstract setting of posets having the upper bound property and equipped with a certain orthogonality relation.
