Abstract

Let \({{\mathcal B}(H)}\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space \({H}\). In this paper, we get a complete classification of surjective linear maps on \({{\mathcal B}(H)}\) that preserve quadratic operators in both directions. An analogue result in the setting of finite-dimensional Banach spaces is given.
