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 approach lead to the common goals of any quantization, such as Schroedinger's representation and Schroedinger's equation. Careful attention is paid toward seeking favored classical variables, which are those that should be promoted to the principal quantum operators. This effort leads toward…

Using Coherent States to Make Physically Correct Classical-to-Quantum Procedures That Help Resolve Nonrenomalizable Fields Including Einstein’s Gravity
Canonical quantization covers a broad class of classical systems, but that does not include all the problems of interest. Affine quantization has the benefit of providing a successful quantization of
Let Loop Quantum Gravity and Affine Quantum Gravity Examine Each Other

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.
Evidence for Expanding Quantum Field Theory
Present day quantum field theory (QFT) is founded on canonical quantization, which has served quite well, but also has led to several issues. The free field describing a free particle (with no

Today’s quantum field theory (QFT) relies heavenly on canonical quantization (CQ), which fails for φ4 leading only to a “free” result. Affine quantization (AQ), an alternative quantization procedure,
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.

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

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
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
Quantum field theory with no zero-point energy
A bstractTraditional quantum field theory can lead to enormous zero-point energy, which markedly disagrees with experiment. Unfortunately, this situation is built into conventional canonical
Enhanced quantization: a primer
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
