Hidden processes and hidden Markov processes: classical and quantum

Abstract

This paper consists of 33 parts. The first part only considers classical processes and introduces two different extensions of the notion of hidden Markov process. In the second part, the notion of quantum hidden process is introduced. In the third part it is proven that, by restricting various types of quantum Markov chains to appropriate commutative sub-algebras (diagonal sub-algebras) one recovers all the classical hidden process and, in addition, one obtains families of processes which are not usual hidden Markov process, but are included in the above mentioned extensions of these processes. In this paper we only deal with processes with an at most countable state space.
