      [OWP-2008-06] Blasiak, Pawel (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-10)
      Ordering of operators is purely combinatorial task involving a number of commutators shuffling components of operator expression to desired form. Here we show how it can be illustrated by simple urn models in which normal ...
