We consider the quantum Lobachevsky space Lq3, which is defined as a subalgebra of the Hopf algebra Aq(SL2(C)). The Iwasawa decomposition of Aq(SL2(C)) introduced by Podles and Woronowicz allows us to consider the quantum analogue of the horospheric coordinates on Lq3. The action of the Casimir element, which belongs to the dual to Aq quantum group Uq(SL2(C)), on some subspace in Lq3 in these coordinates leads to a second order difference operator on the infinite one-dimensional lattice. In the continuous limit q to 1 it is transformed into the Schrodinger Hamiltonian, which describes zero modes into the Liouville field theory (the Liouville quantum mechanics). We calculate the spectrum (Brillouin zones) and the eigenfunctions of this operator. They are q-continuous Hermite polynomials, which are particular cases of the Macdonald or Rogers-Askey-Ismail polynomials. The scattering in this problem corresponds to the scattering of the first two-level dressed excitations in the ZN model in the very peculiar limit when the anisotropy parameter gamma and N to infinity , or, equivalently, ( gamma ,N) to 0.
