This volume contains recent results in quantum probability and related topics. The contributions include peer-reviewed papers on interacting Fock space and orthogonal polynomials, quantum Markov semigroups, infinitely divisible processes, free probability, white noise, quantum filtering and control, quantum information, dilations, applications of quantum probability in physics, and quantum and classical models in biology. This diversity reflects the strong and constructive relations between quantum probability and different sectors of mathematics, physics, and other sciences and technologies. Read more...
