  Recent developments in the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics have
brought the theory closer to that of classical probability and statistics. On
the other hand, the unique character of quantum physics sets many of the
questions addressed apart from those met classically in stochastics.
Furthermore, concurrent advances in experimental techniques and in the theory
of quantum computation have led to a strong interest in questions of quantum
information, in particular in the sense of the amount of information about
unknown parameters in given observational data or accessible through various
possible types of measurements. This scenery is outlined (with an audience of
statisticians and probabilists in mind).
