Concrete quantum logics are quantum logics which allow for a set representa
tion. They seem to be of significant conceptual value within quantum axioma
tics and they play an important role in the theory of orthomodular structur
es as set-representable orthomodular posets or lattices and they also somet
imes constitute a "domain" for investigations in "noncommutative" measure t
heory. This paper presents a survey of recent results on this class of logi
cs. Stress is put on the algebraic and measure-theoretic aspects. Several o
pen questions relevant to the logicoalgebraic foundation of quantum theorie
s are posed.
