quantization
procedure to construct a quantum system whose classical limit corresponds to a given classical system
second quantization
formulation of the quantum many-body problem
noncommutative geometry
mathematical theory in which noncommutative algebraic structures are interpreted as rings of functions on an abstract space

process of converting a classical physical theory into one compatible with quantum mechanics
Phase space formulation
formulation of quantum mechanics in phase space
