Noncommutative Mathematics for Quantum Systems

Uwe Franz has been Professor at the University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France, since 2005. He completed his PhD at Université Henri Poincaré-Nancy, France, in 1997. He was a Senior Fellow at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald in 2014. He has authored one book, entitled Stochastic Processes and Operator Calculus on Quantum Groups (1999), edited four books on quantum probability, and written over fifty peer-reviewed research papers in the area of noncommutative mathematics. His areas of interest include noncommutative probability, quantum stochastic processes, quantum stochastic calculus and probability on quantum groups. Adam Skalski is an Associate Professor at the Mathematical Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, University of Warsaw, Poland. He completed his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Nottingham in 2006. He has published a number of articles in the area of noncommutative mathematics. He has been awarded the Kuratowski Prize of the Polish Mathematical Society in 2008 and the Sierpiński Prize of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2014. His areas of interest include topological quantum groups, noncommutative measure theory and quantum stochastic processes.
