A quantum probability space is a pair \(({\mathcal A},\Phi)\) consisting of a \(*\)-algebra \({\mathcal A}\) and a state \(\Phi\) on \({\mathcal A}\). A quantum stochastic process on a \(*\)-algebra \({\mathcal B}\) is an indexed family \((j_t)_{t\in I}\) of \(*\)-algebra homomorphisms from \({\mathcal B}\) to \({\mathcal A}\). A \(*\)-bialgebra \(({\mathcal B},\Delta, \varepsilon)\) is a unital \(*\)-algebra \({\mathcal B}\) with two \(*\)-homomorphisms \(\Delta:{\mathcal B}\to{\mathcal B}\otimes{\mathcal B}\), \(\varepsilon:{\mathcal B}\to{\mathcal C}\) with specifying properties. A quantum stochastic process \((j_{st})_{0\leq s\leq t}\) on \({\mathcal B}\) over \(({\mathcal A},\Phi)\) is called a Lévy process, if it satisfies certain properties; the marginal distributions of a Lévy process form a convolution semigroup. A generator on \({\mathcal B}\), and a Schürmann triple on \({\mathcal B}\) are defined. The Lévy process on \({\mathcal B}\), the generators on \({\mathcal B}\), and the Schürmann tirples on \({\mathcal B}\) are in one-to-one correspondence. There is a classification of generators of Lévy processes. In particular, there are Gaussian and Poisson generators. There is corresponding classification of Lévy processes. It is shown that all Lévy processes on the compact form \(U_q(su(2))\) are Poisson processes. Some Poisson processes on \(U_q(su(2))\) in more detail are studied. A classification of all Lévy processes on \(*\)-bialgebra \(U_n\) and classification of Gaussian generators on \(U_n\) are given. It is also shown how classical processes can be used to give a (partial) description of the processes on the \(*\)-algebras. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0945.00022].
