Extending Flows of Classical Markov Processes to Quantum flows in Fock Space

  • Chapter
Probability Towards 2000

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Statistics ((LNS,volume 128))

Abstract

We describe a rather general scheme for extending the flow of a classical Markov process to a quantum flow on the algebra of all bounded operator on an L 2 space of the state space. We discuss open problems and possible developments.
