Abstract

After a short review of the notion of a quantum Markov chain, a particular class of such chains, generalizing in a natural way the usual random walks, is introduced. In Section (5) a limit theorem for quantum random walks is proved showing that the diffusion limit of the continuous coherent chain is an abelian extension of the Fock quantum Brownian motion on $L^2({\bf R}_+)$.
