The similarity between classical and quantum physics is large enough to make an investigation of quantization methods a worthwhile endeavour. As history has shown, Dirac's canonical quantization method works reasonably well in the case of conventional quantum mechanics over $\mathbb{R}^n$ but it may fail in non-trivial phase spaces and also suffer from ordering problem. Affine quantization is an alternative method, similar to the canonical quantization, that may offer a positive result in…

We study canonical and affine versions of the quantized covariant Euclidean free real scalar field-theory on four dimensional lattices through the Monte Carlo method. We calculate the two-point
A Straight Forward Path to a Path Integration of Einstein's Gravity

Affine quantization is a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, which is ideally suited to deal with special problems. Vector affine quantization introduces multiple degrees of freedom which
The Particle in a Box \Warrants an Examination
The particle in a box is a simple model that has a classical Hamiltonian H = p 2 (using 2 m = 1), with a limited coordinate space, − b < q < b , where 0 < b < ∞ . Using canonical quantization, this

Canonical quantization (CQ) is built around [Q,P ] = ih̄1 , while affine quantization (AQ) is built around [Q,D] = ih̄ Q, where D ≡ (PQ + QP )/2. The basic CQ operators must fit −∞ < P,Q < ∞, while
A Smooth Path between the Classical Realm and the Quantum Realm
This paper leads the reader toward specific, but natural, procedures that promise to ensure that the classical and quantum choices are guaranteed a proper physical connection.

For a particle moving on a half-line or in an interval the operator p̂ = −i∂x is not self-adjoint and thus does not qualify as the physical momentum. Consequently canonical quantization based on p̂

Gravity does not naturally fit well with canonical quantization. Affine quantization is an alternative procedure that is similar to canonical quantization but may offer a positive result when
The Benefits of Affine Quantization
Canonical quantization has served wonderfully for the quantization of a vast number of classical systems. That includes single classical variables, such as p and q, and numerous classical

The system of a two-dimensional damped harmonic oscillator is revisited in the extended phase space. It is an old problem that has already been addressed by many authors that we present here with
Teaching renormalization, scaling, and universality with an example from quantum mechanics
We discuss the quantum mechanics of a particle restricted to the half-line $x > 0$ with potential energy $V = \alpha/x^2$ for $-1/4 < \alpha < 0$. It is known that two scale-invariant theories may be
When Canonical Quantization Fails, Here is How to Fix It
Following Dirac, the rules of canonical quantization include classical and quantum contact transformations of classical and quantum phase space variables. While arbitrary classical canonical
Enhanced quantization: a primer
