Canonical coordinates
In
mathematics
and
classical mechanics
,
canonical coordinates
are sets of
coordinates
which can be used to describe a physical system at any given point in time (locating the system within
phase space
). Canonical coordinates are used in the
Hamiltonian formulation
of
classical mechanics
. A closely related concept also appears in
quantum mechanics
; see the
Stone–von Neumann theorem
and
canonical commutation relations
for details.
