Description
Quantum probability is a subtle blend of quantum mechanics and classical probability theory. Its important ideas can be traced to the
pioneering work of Richard Feynman in his path integral formalism.
Only recently have the concept and ideas of quantum probability been
presented in a rigorous axiomatic framework, and this book provides a coherent and comprehensive exposition of this approach. It gives
a unified treatment of operational statistics, generalized measure theory and the path integral formalism that can only be found in scattered
research articles.
The first two chapters survey the necessary background in quantum mechanics and probability theory and therefore the
book is fairly self-contained, assuming only an elementary knowledge of linear operators in Hilbert space.
Audience
Mathematical physicists, theoretical physicists, mathematicians, philosophers of science, and probabilists.
