Abstract
This work belongs to a field called quantum probability or noncommutative probability. The first name emphasizes the origins in quantum theory and the attempts to achieve a conceptual understanding of the new probabilistic features of this theory as well as the applications to physics which such a clarification can offer in return. The second name, which should be read as not necessarily commutative probability, puts the subject into the broader program of noncommutative mathematics and emphasizes the development of mathematical structures. The field has grown large and we do not intend to give a survey here but refer to the books [Da76, Me91, Pa92, Bi95, Ho01, QPC03] for different ways of approaching it. Probability theory in the usual sense appears as a part which is referred to as classical or commutative.
