Michael Schürmann (born 1955 in Dinslaken) is a German mathematician known for his work in the fields of quantum probability and non-commutative stochastic processes. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of quantum Lévy processes and stochastic independence in quantum contexts. Schürmann held academic positions in France and Germany. He was a professor at the University of Greifswald until his retirement in 2021.[1]
Early life and education
Schürmann was born in 1955 in Dinslaken, Germany. He studied mathematics at Ruhr University Bochum, where he completed his intermediate diploma in 1975. He then transferred to Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, where he earned his degree in 1980.
Schürmann pursued his doctoral studies under the supervision of Wilhelm von Waldenfels and was awarded his Ph.D. in 1986 with a dissertation titled "Über *-Bialgebren und quantenstochastische Zuwachsprozesse" (On *-Bialgebras and Quantum Stochastic Increment Processes). In 1993, he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg, and his thesis, "White Noise on Bialgebras," was later published as part of the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics series.
Career
From 1995 to 1998, Schürmann was a professor of mathematics at Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France. In 1998, he joined the University of Greifswald in Germany, where he held the Chair for Algebra and Functional Analytical Applications until his retirement in 2021. His research primarily focuses on quantum probability, non-commutative probability theory, and stochastic processes on compact quantum groups.[2]
Schürmann introduced the concept of the "Schürmann triple," which is fundamental to the study of stochastic processes on compact quantum groups. He made significant contributions to the understanding of quantum Lévy processes and non-commutative generalizations of stochastic independence.[3]
Schürmann coordinated the European Union network "Quantum Probability with Applications to Physics, Information Theory, and Biology" from 2002 to 2006. He has also served as an editor for the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics series on "Quantum Independent Increment Processes" and is a member of the editorial board of the journal Infinite Dimensional Analysis, Quantum Probability, and Communications in Mathematical Physics.[4]
