This is a detailed overview of contemporary results on effect algebras (= difference posets), especially interval effect algebras which are obtained as intervals in partially ordered abelian groups. The respective group with an order unit \(u\) is called a unigroup iff every abelian group-valued measure on the interval \([0,u]\) can be extended to a group homomorphism on the whole group. Effect algebras are a mathematical tool generalizing intervals of self-adjoint operators. They form a basis of mathematical models of quantum mechanics. Among others, the author shows how the Naimark Extension Theorem can be interpreted in effect algebras and which related problems remain open. Special attention is paid to states and contractions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00056].
