      Let \(H_n(x) = (-1)^ne^{x^2}\frac{d^n e^{-x^2}}{dx^n}\) be the \(n\)th Hermite polynomial. Define \[ \theta_{n}(t) = \sum_{m\in \mathbb{Z}} e^{-\pi m^2t}H_n(\sqrt{2\pi t}m). \] In this article, the author applies the Laplace transform to the transformation formula \[ \theta_{2q}(t)=\frac{(-1)^q}{t^{1/2}}\theta_{2q}\left(\frac{1}{t}\right) \] and obtains an infinite family of summation identities, one of which is \[ \frac{1}{s} +2\sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{1}{s+\pi m^2} =\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{\sqrt{s}}+2\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{\sqrt{s}}\sum_{m=1}^\infty e^{-2m\sqrt{\pi s}},\qquad \Re s>0. \]
