Jan 22, 2016 at 23:03 comment added Acuriousmind @NikWeaver in the case of quantum mechanics and classical physics I would be suprised to hear about anything different...
Jan 22, 2016 at 21:57 comment added Nik Weaver "Now there are basically two interesting examples of C*-algebras I would say" --- this is nothing to be proud of!
Jan 22, 2016 at 21:22 comment added AHusain @Acuriousmind You can view this as a 0+1 dimensional quantum field theory if you want, but it is true that you don't need to do that overkill for this question.
Jan 22, 2016 at 19:49 comment added Acuriousmind @user40276 you seem to be talking about QFT here, which is not what I had in mind. so let us really stick to the definitions I gave here, if you don't mind.
