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 canonical quantization fails to offer a positive result. Two simple examples given initially illustrate the power of affine quantization. These examples clearly point toward an affine quantization procedure that vastly simplifies a successful quantization of general relativity.

Affine quantization, a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, needs to use its principal quantum operators, specifically ( ) 2 D PQ QP = + and 0 Q ≠ , to represent appropriate kinetic factors,
Is Loop Quantum Gravity a Physically Correct Quantization?
Dirac's rule in which only special phase space variables should be promoted to operators in canonical quantization is applied to loop quantum gravity. For this theory, Dirac's rule is violated, and
Using Affine Quantization to Analyze Non-Renormalizable Scalar Fields and the Quantization of Einstein’s Gravity
Affine quantization is a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, which is ideally suited to deal with non-renormalizable scalar models as well as quantum gravity. The basic applications of this

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 Favored Classical Variables to Promote to Quantum Operators
The task of how classical phase-space variables are found that can be used to properly solve a given quantum system is addressed.
Quantum Gravity, Constant Negative Curvatures, and Black Holes
For purposes of quantization, classical gravity is normally expressed by canonical variables, namely the metric $g_{ab}(x)$ and the momentum $\pi^{cd}(x)$. Canonical quantization requires a proper
A Unified Combination of Classical and Quantum Systems
The goal is to overcome the two separate languages and create a smooth and common procedure that provides a clear and continuous passage between the conventional distinction of either a strictly classical or a strictly quantized state.
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.
Quantum dynamics in Weyl-Heisenberg coherent states
The article explores a new formalism for describing motion in quantum mechanics. The construction is based on generalized coherent states with evolving fiducial vector. Weyl-Heisenberg coherent

Although classical mechanics and quantum mechanics are separate disciplines, we live in a world where Planck’s constant ℏ > 0, meaning that the classical and quantum world views must actually
