In the classical case, H. Reichenbach's theorem asserts that the existence of a common cause yields correlation, i.e., if two events have a common cause, then they do correlate [cf. \textit{H. Reichenbach}, ``The direction of time'' (Univ. of California Press, 1956)]. The author generalizes the notion of common cause to Hilbert lattices in two different ways according to two distinct definitions of the conditional probability in the quantum case, and shows that the analogue of Reichenbach's theorem does not hold in either case. In addition, counterexamples where a common cause yields correlation, anticorrelation, and independence, respectively, are given.
