Noncommutative integrability from classical to quantum mechanics

We propose in this work a definition of integrable quantum system, which is based upon the correspondence with the concept of noncommutative integrability for classical mechanical systems. We then determine sufficient conditions under which, given an integrable classical system, it is possible to construct an integrable quantum system by means of a quantization procedure based on the symmetrized product of operators. As a first example of application of such an approach, we will consider the possible cases of noncommutative integrability for systems with rotational symmetry in an n-dimensional Euclidean configuration space. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
