Quantum mechanics reveals a reality where uncertainty is not merely epistemic but ontological, challenging classical logics that rely on determinacy. We introduce neutrosophic logic as a novel framework to formalise this intrinsic indeterminacy. Unlike probability or fuzzy systems, neutrosophy treats truth (T), falsity (F), and indeterminacy (I) as independent dimensions, enabling a richer representation of quantum superposition, entanglement, and measurement collapse. We show that neutrosophic triplets capture the undefined yet real state of qubits before observation and provide a coherent description of entangled correlations beyond probabilistic models. This approach offers a unifying formalism that accommodates both structural indeterminacy and outcome probabilities, bridging foundational debates in quantum theory with practical advances in quantum computation and information science. By explicitly integrating indeterminacy into mathematical modelling, neutrosophy advances our understanding of quantum reality and suggests new avenues for experimental validation and quantum technology design.
