Theoretical Concepts in Quantum Probability; Quantum Markov Processes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 235))

Abstract

An introduction is given to some fundamental concepts in quantum probability, such as (quantum) probability spaces and (quantum) stochastic processes. Recent results are described relating to the question, what transition probabilities for an n-level quantum system are theoretically possible in a quantum Markov process.
