{{Expert needed|physics|date=November 2008}}Quantum probability was developed in the 1980s as a noncommutative analog of the Kolmogorovian theory of stochastic processes.[1][2][3][4][5] One of its aims is to clarify the mathematical foundations of quantum theory and its statistical interpretation.[6][7]

A significant recent application to physics is the dynamical solution of the quantum measurement problem,[8][9] by giving constructive models of quantum observation processes which resolve many famous paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

Some recent advances are based on quantum filtering[10] and feedback control theory as applications of quantum stochastic calculus.

Orthodox quantum mechanics

Orthodox quantum mechanics has two seemingly contradictory mathematical descriptions:

  1. deterministic unitary time evolution (governed by the Schrödinger equation) and
  2. stochastic (random) wavefunction collapse.

Most physicists are not concerned with this apparent problem. Physical intuition usually provides the answer, and only in unphysical systems (e.g., Schrödinger's cat, an isolated atom) do paradoxes seem to occur.

Orthodox quantum mechanics can be reformulated in a quantum-probabilistic framework, where quantum filtering theory (see Bouten et al.[11][12] for introduction or Belavkin, 1970s[13][14][15]) gives the natural description of the measurement process. This new framework encapsulates the standard postulates of quantum mechanics, and thus all of the science involved in the orthodox postulates.

Motivation

In classical probability theory, information is summarized by the sigma-algebra F of events in a classical probability space (Ω, F,P). For example, F could be the σ-algebra σ(X) generated by a random variable X, which contains all the information on the values taken by X. We wish to describe quantum information in similar algebraic terms, in such a way as to capture the non-commutative features and the information made available in an experiment. The appropriate algebraic structure for observables, or more generally operators, is a *-algebra. A (unital) *- algebra is a complex vector space A of operators on a Hilbert space H that

  • contains the identity I and
  • is closed under composition (a multiplication) and adjoint (an involution ): aA implies aA.

A state P on A is a linear functional P : AC (where C is the field of complex numbers) such that 0 ≤ P(a* a) for all aA (positivity) and P(I) = 1 (normalization). A projection is an element pA such that p2 = p = p*.

Mathematical definition

The basic definition in quantum probability is that of a quantum probability space, sometimes also referred to as an algebraic or noncommutative probability space.

Definition : Quantum probability space.

A quantum probability space is a pair (A, P), where A is a *-algebra and P is a state.

This definition is a generalization of the definition of a probability space in Kolmogorovian probability theory, in the sense that every (classical) probability space gives rise to a quantum probability space if A is chosen as the *-algebra of almost everywhere bounded complex-valued measurable functions{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}.

The idempotents pA are the events in A, and P(p) gives the probability of the event p.
