Introduction This volume, the fourth one of the quantum probability series, collecta part of the contributions to the Year of Quantum Probability organized by the Volterra Center at the University of Rome II, another part of these contributions having already appeared elsewhere. During this year an intensive communication took place among the researchers in this field and this allowed several open problems to be solved and several unexpected connections to arise. The realization of this plan was made possible by the contributions of the University of Rome II and the Direzione Generale per gli Scambi Culturali of the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction. We are glad to thank all the participants for their contribution to the present volume, to the success of the present enterprise, as well as to the general growth of quantum probability which, especially with the developements of the last years, is establishing itself as a crossroad between classical probability theory, quantum physics, functional analysis and pure algebra.
