On Quantum Statistical Inference
OLE E BARNDORFF-NIELSEN (University of Aarhus),
RICHARD GILL (University of Utrecht),
PETER JUPP (University of St Andrews),
Synopsis:
Interest in problems of statistical inference connected to measurements of
quantum systems has recently increased substantially, in step with dramatic
new developments in experimental techniques for studying small quantum
systems. Furthermore, theoretical developments in the theory of quantum
measurements have brought the basic mathematical framework for the
probability calculations much closer to that of classical probability
theory. The present paper reviews this field and proposes and interrelates
a number of new concepts for an extension of classical statistical
inference to the quantum context.
An Electronic version of this paper will soon be available from:

The meeting will take place at the Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol
Street,
London EC1Y 8LX (nearest underground stations are Old Street, Moorgate and
