Abstract An axiomatic approach to quantum mechanics is proposed in terms of a “logic” scheme satisfying a suitable set of axioms. In this context the notion of pure, maximal, and characteristic state as well as the superposition relation and the superposition principle for the states are studied. The role the superposition relation plays in the reversible and in the irreversible dynamics is investigated and its connection with the tensor product is studied. Throughout the paper, theW *-algebra model, which satisfies our axioms, is used to exemplify results and properties of the general scheme.
