`The "problem of quantization"`: >Find a vector space $Obs$ (as large as possible) of real-valued functions $f(p, q)$ on $R^{2n}$, containing the coordinate functions $p_j$ and $q_j$ $(j = 1, . . . , n)$, and a mapping $Q : f → Q_f$ from $Obs$ into self-adjoint operators on $L^2(R^n)$ such that (q1)–(q5)* are satisfied. >(*Please refer to the paper for the conditions (q1) - (q5).)
