Title: Quantum probability and Lorentz transformation from an elementary point of view

Abstract: I will refresh the framework of quantum probability, which essentially adapts the theory of subspaces of the space of linear continuous operators on a Hilbert space.  Then I will discuss some aspects of the Lorentz group and show how to derive several of its properties. These properties are well known but usually they  are presented within a quite advanced setup of differential geometry and tensor theory. In fact, at least some of these results can be obtained just by using undergraduate  linear algebra and calculus, and not even tediously.
