The theory of local asymptotic normality for quantum statistical experiments is developed in the spirit of the classical result from mathematical statistics due to Le Cam. Roughly speaking, local asymptotic normality means that the family phi(n)(theta 0+u/root n) consisting of joint states of n identically prepared quantum systems approaches in a statistical sense a family of Gaussian state phi(u) of an algebra of canonical commutation relations. The convergence holds for all local parameters u is an element of R-m such that = theta + theta(0) + u/root n parametrizes a neighborhood of a fixed point theta(0) is an element of Theta subset of R-m. In order to prove the result we define weak and strong convergence of quantum statistical experiments which extend to the asymptotic framework the notion of quantum sufficiency introduces by Petz. Along the way we introduce the concept of canonical state of a statistical experiment, and investigate the relation between the two notions of convergence. For the reader's convenience and completeness we review the relevant results of the classical as well as the quantum theory.
