Quantum stochastic integrals have been constructed in various contexts [2, 3, 4, 5, 9] by adapting the construction of the classical L2-Itô-integral with respect to Brownian motion. Thus, the integral is first defined for simple integrands as a finite sum, then one establishes certain isometry relations or suitable bounds to allow the extension, by continuity, to more general integrands. The integrator is typically operator-valued, the integrand is vector-valued or operator-valued and the quantum stochastic integral is then given as a vector in a Hilbert space, or as an operator on the Hilbert space determined by its action on suitable vectors.
