Quantum Lévy Laplacian and associated heat equation

As a non-commutative extension of the Lévy Laplacian for entire functions on a nuclear space, we define the quantum Lévy Laplacian acting on white noise operators. We solve a heat type equation associated with the quantum Lévy Laplacian and study its relation to the classical Lévy heat equation. The solution to the quantum Lévy heat equation is obtained also from a normal-ordered white noise differential equation involving the quadratic quantum white noise. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
