Alternative approaches to quantization

John R. Klauder examines whether canonical quantization provides a complete route from classical systems to quantum ones, then presents alternative procedures as a way to address that question. The book moves from an introductory explanation of the proposed methods to selected models where, according to the description, conventional quantization produces unacceptable results. It compares those cases with the outcomes of the alternatives, while noting that systems handled acceptably by conventional methods retain the same results under the new procedures. Part of its structure is intended to make the methods accessible to general readers; the later model-based discussion develops the argument through applications to particles, fields, and gravity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an introduction to alternative quantization procedures alongside canonical quantization.
  • Those interested in quantum theory and its application to particles, fields, and gravity.
  • Readers comfortable with a book that moves from introductory material to selected technical models.

Book overview

This pioneering book addresses the question: Are the standard procedures of canonical quantization fully satisfactory, or is there more to learn about assigning a proper quantum system to a given classical system? As shown in this book, the answer to this question is: The standard procedures of canonical quantization are not the whole story!

This book offers alternative quantization procedures that complete the story of quantization. The initial chapters are designed to present the new procedures in a clear and simple manner for general readers. As is necessary, systems that exhibit acceptable results with conventional quantization lead to the same results when the new procedures are used for them. However, later chapters examine selected models that lead to unacceptable results when quantized conventionally. Fortunately, these same models lead to acceptable results when the new quantization procedures are used.
