Abstract
Quantum Stochastic Calculus can be used as a means by which randomness can be introduced to observables acting on a Hilbert space. In this article we show how the mechanisms of Quantum Stochastic Calculus can be used to extend the classical Black-Scholes framework by incorporating a breakdown in the liquidity of a traded asset. This is captured via the widening of the bid offer spread, and the impact on the nature of the resulting probability distribution is modelled in this work.
