Abstract

Motivated by the work of Segal and Segal in [16] on the Black-Scholes pricing formula in the quantum context, we study a quantum extension of the Black-Scholes equation within the context of Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus,. Our model includes stock markets described by quantum Brownian motion and Poisson process.
