要旨：2月 27日(火)

                    Hidden Markov processes (HMP) (also called Hidden Markov models (HMM)) are

                  a variant of usual Markov processes which turned out to be extremely successful in a

                  large number of applications of different type. Recently it has been proved that this

                  class of processes admits a natural quantum extension and that, from restrictions of

                  quantum HMP to abelian sub–algebras, one obtains new families of classical processes

                  with non–trivial potential applications. Many of the results discussed are new also in

                  the classical case.

　　　　　   Since the first steps of quantum probability (QP) in the years 1970s,

                  it was a folklore statement that QP is a generalization of classical probability (CP). 

                  Developments over the last 25 years have shown that this statement must be 

                  completely overturned, namely: the whole quantum theory (QT) can be deduced 

                  from the combination of CP with the classical theory of orthogonal polynomials (OP).

                     The importance of the new point of view does not lie so much in the above–

                  mentioned deduction, but in the fact that, in this deduction, the known quantum

                  theory appears as a very special case, corresponding to some specific classical 

                  probabilistic requirements of a much broader deductive theory, which allows to 

                  take into account other, often more realistic, probabilistic requirements.

                  In other words, for the first time in over 100 years, the mathematical apparatus of

                  QT appears in the perspective of a natural deduction and not as a strange, singular

                  theory justified a posteriori by its enormous empirical success, but totally mysterious

                  in its origins and meaning.

                      The fall–out of this new point of view, both for QT and for CP has already been

                   very large, but this is only the beginning and it is not hazardous to expect that, in

                   the near future, both these disciplines will undergo a radical conceptual and technical

                   innovation.
