For any Ritt operator T acting on a noncommutative L p -space, we define the notion of completely bounded functional calculus H ∞ (Bγ ) where Bγ is a Stolz domain. Moreover, we introduce the 'column square functions'and the 'row square functions'for any α > 0 and any x ∈ L p (M ). Then, we provide an example of Ritt operator which admits a completely bounded H ∞ (Bγ ) functional calculus for some γ ∈ 0, π 2 such that the square functions · p,T,c,α and · p,T,r,α are not equivalent. Moreover, assuming 1 < p < 2 and α > 0, we prove that if Ran(I − T ) is dense and T admits a completely bounded H ∞ (Bγ ) functional calculus for some γ ∈ 0, π 2 then there exists a positive constant C such that for any. Finally, we observe that this result applies to a suitable class of selfadjoint Markov maps on noncommutative L p -spaces.
