Quantization of Inequivalent Classical Hamiltonians.
Edwards, Ian K.
American Journal of Physics, v47 n2 p153-55 Feb 1979
Shows how the quantization of a Hamiltonian which is not canonically related to the energy is ambiguous and thereby results in conflicting physical interpretations. Concludes that only the Hamiltonian corresponding to the total energy of a classical system or one canonically related to it is suitable for consistent quantization. (GA)
