Revisiting Canonical Quantization    [PDF]

John R. Klauder

Conventional canonical quantization procedures directly link various $c$-number and $q$-number quantities. Here, we advocate a different association of classical and quantum quantities that renders classical theory a natural subset of quantum theory with \hbar>0. While keeping the good results of conventional procedures, some examples are noted where the new procedures offer better results than conventional ones.
