Abstract: Let $T$ be a quadratic operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$. We show that $T$ can be written as a product of two positive contractions if and only if $T$ is of the form ${\displaystyle }$aI oplus bI oplus�egin{pmatrix} aI & P cr 0 & bI cr end{pmatrix} quad ext{on} quad H_1oplus H_2oplus (H_3oplus H_3)${\displaystyle }$ for some $a,bin[0,1]$ and strictly positive operator $P$ with $|P|le|sqrta-sqrtb|sqrt(1-a)(1-b).$ Also, we give a necessary condition for a bounded linear operator $T$ with operator matrix $$ on $HoplusK$ that can be written as a product of two positive contractions.
