The International Workshop on Quantum Communications and
Measurement was held at the University of Nottingham from July
10-16, 1994. It followed the successful meeting on Quantum Aspects
of Optical Communications in Paris in November 1990. This time the
conference was devoted to mathematical, physical and engineering
aspects of quantum noise, signal processing and quantum informa
tion in open systems, quantum channels, and optical communications.
It brought research workers in the experimental and engineering
aspects of quantum optics and communication systems into contact
with theoreticians working in quantum probability and measurement
theory. The workshop was attended by more than 130 participants
from 22 different countries. The largest groups after the UK (31)]
were from Japan (19) and from Russia (14). The subjects discussed
included the mathematical foundations of quantum communication
systems, experiments and devices, the problem of collapse and
continuous measurement, quantum input and output processes,
causality and nondemolition observation, squeezed states, quan tum
jumps, state diffusion and spontaneous localization, filtering and
control in quantum systems, and new quantum optical phenomena and
effects, including non classical light. These new mathematical and
physical ideas were stimulated by recent advances in generation and
detection of light with low quantum noise and the development of
techniques for trapping a single atom over an extended period of
time, making it possible to observe individual quantum phenomena at
the macroscopic level."

Much has changed in the world of quantum probability since the
publication of the last volume in this series. Giants in the field,
such as P-A Meyer, K R Parthasarathy and W yon Waldenfels, have
reached the age of retirement. Readers will, however, be pleased to
see evidence in the present volume that Partha remains as
creatively active as ever. The field itself, regarded at one time
as the esoteric province of a small group of devotees, has come of
age. It has attracted the enthusiastic commitment of an
ever-growing army of young mathematicians and physicists, many of
whom are represented here.
