Research Interests Philosophy of Science, Quantum Logic, Quantum Computation, Philosophy and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Semantics of Physical Theories, Theories of Meaning Curriculum Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara, professor of Philosophy of Science at the University Florence is a past president of the "International Quantum Structure Association", of the "Italian Society of Logic and Philosophy of Science" and a past vicepresident of the "Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science". Now she is the president of the "Florence Center for the History and Philosophy of Science". She is the author of a number of books and articles concerning the following fields: quantum logic, quantum computation, foundations and philosophy of quantum theory, semantics of physical theories, theories of meaning. In occasion of her 60-th birthday, the journal "Foundations of Physics" has dedicated to her two special issues (vol.30, n.9-10), edited by D. Aerts, G. Cattaneo, A. Dvurečenskij,
