Quantum stochastic analysis is the analysis arising from the natural operator filtration of a symmetric Fock space over a Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on the positive half-line. These lecture notes constitute a detailed and clear introduction to the subject from a current perspective with a special emphasis on Markovian cocycles. From the introduction: ``The first selection collects some general background material, including reviews of symmetric Fock space and operator theoretic positivity, and an introduction to operator spaces with particular emphasis on an analogue of \(M_{n,m}(V)\) in which \({\mathbb C}^n\) and \({\mathbb C}^m\) are replaced by Hilbert spaces. The operator spaces \(V\) appearing will be `concrete' that is closed subspaces of \(B(H,K)\) for some Hilbert spaces \(H\) and \(K\); \(M_{n,m}(V)\) is thereby viewed as a closed subspace of \(B(H^m;K^n)\). Quantum stochastic processes are introduced in the second section where exponential domains, adaptedness, quantum Brownian motion, martingales and the fundamental process of creation, number (exchange) and annihilation are all defined. In section three quantum stochastic integration is founded on abstract Wiener space analysis, in particular the divergence and gradient of Malliavin calculus and nonadapted integral of Hitsuda and Skorohod. The quantum Itô formula, whose crudest form is \(dA_t dA^*_t= dt\) (cf. \((dB_t)^2=dt\), for Brownian motion), is then derived from the `Skorohod isometry'. The fourth section is the heart of the course. The meaning of solution for a quantum stochastic differential equation is explained there, and how Picard iteration yields the solution for a natural class of coefficients is also described. Operator spaces provide a natural and efficacious context for considering these equations. Section five begins by describing how classes of Markovian cocycles have an infinitesimal description, as solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation, and then poses the question: how can a property of the cocycle (such as positivity, contractivity or being \(^*\)-homomorphic) be recognised from the infinitesimal description, i.e. from its stochastic generator? The sixth section shows how Markovian cocycles may be reconstructed using quantum stochastic calculus to provide \(^*\)-homomorphic stochastic dilations of completely positive contraction semigroups (also called quantum dynamical semigroups) on a \(C^*\)-algebra or von Neumann algebra, and also how solving quantum stochastic differential equations allows a realisation of Markovian cocycles as perturbation cocycles with simpler stochastic generators. Section six is followed by an Afterword containing a taste of non-introductory material. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1058.81004].
