Quantum Probability and Related Topics—Proceedings of the 32nd Conference, Levico Terme, Italy, 29 May-4 June 2011

The 17 papers, selected and refereed after the conference ended, highlight recent developments in quantum probability and related topics. Among them are entanglement protection and generation under continuous monitoring, completely positive transformations of quantum operations, generating semigroups by degenerate elliptic operators arising in open quantum systems, the spectral gap of the n-photon absorption-emission process, white noise theory, computational complexity of a quantum algorithm for factoring, an isometry formula for a new stochastic integral, and complexities for Gaussian communication processes. Only authors are indexed. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
