Extract

Many examples of quantum independent stationary increment processes are solutions of quantum stochastic differential equations. We give a common characterization of these examples by a quantum stochastic differential equation on an abstract *-bialgebra. Specializing this abstract *-bialgebra and the coefficients of the equation, we obtain the equations for the Unitary Noncommutative Stochastic processes of [12], the Quantum Wiener Process [2], the Azéma martingales [11] and for other examples. The existence and uniqueness of a solution of the general equation is shown. Assuming the boundedness of this solution, we prove that it is a continuous and stationary independent increment process.
