The quantisation of the Ablowitz-Ladik chain leads to the $q$-boson model. Using a previous construction of Baxter's Q-operator for this model by the author, a set of functional relations is obtained which matches the relations of a one-variable classical B\\\"acklund transform to all orders in $\\hbar $. We construct also a second Q-operator and show that it is closely related to the inverse of the first.
