| Jul 16, 2017 at 0:31 | comment | added | ACuriousMind♦ | Related: physics.stackexchange.com/q/323937/50583 - you seem to be expecting that there is a unique way to determine the quantization of every classical system, which is simply not the case. The linked question asks why there isn't such a map, and therefore seems to be what you really want to know. | |
| Jul 15, 2017 at 23:36 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | This is an excellent question. If the results are distinct, only experiment can answer the question. Moreover, it may well be that different experimental implementation are compatible with different orderings. | |
