Abstract

As suggested by the title, the goal of the present talk is to describe some casual photographs of different parts of quantum probability without pretense of completeness. I will choose three topics which, in my opinion, efficiently illustrate the fruitful interplay between mathematics and physics which has characterized the development of quantum probability in the past thirty years: (i) the description of a recent experiment which has brought to a conclusion the long standing debate about possible non local effects as necessary consequences of the basic principles of quantum mechanics; (ii) the notion of interacting Fock space, which emerged from quantum electrodynamics without dipole approximation and turned out to be a fruitful tool in such disparate fields as orthogonal polynomials, asymptotics of graphs, quantum structure of classical probability measures, exclusion statistics, . . . ; (iii) the square (and higher powers) of white noise and its relation to renormalization theory and infinitely divisible processes.
