We introduce the notion of a quantum operator algebra (QOA) as a generalization of a classical operator algebra. In some examples, we view a QOA as a deformation of a commutative algebra. We then review the notion of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) and show that a vertex operator algebra is a QOA with some additional structures. Finally, we establish a connection between BV algebras and VOAs.19 pagesHigh Energy Physics - TheoryQuantum Algebratext
