We show that a naive extension of classical concepts to the quantum framework would not work because all infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces are unitarily isomorphic and, as a consequence, it would not be easy to define degrees of freedom. We argue that a geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics might provide a way out.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-08-28T16:04:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "02.40.Yy", "03.65.Ca", "02.30.Ik" ], "keywords": [ "quantum integrability", "definition", "infinite dimensional hilbert spaces", "relevant aspects", "complete integrability" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics", "year": 2009, "number": 1, "pages": 129 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 794196, "adsabs": "2009IJGMM..06..129C" } } }
