Do you know, offhand, if Baysian networks have been extended with complex numbers as probabilities, or (reaching here) if you can do belief propagation by passing around qubits instead of bits? I'm not sure what I mean by either of these thing but I'm throwing keywords out there to see if anything sticks.

Yes they have, but there is no single generalization. I am not even sure what conditioning should mean.

Scott A is a better guy to ask.
