Technical term in quantum field theory; refers to the standard procedure for quantizing a classical field theory by promoting fields and their conjugate momenta to operators satisfying canonical commutation relations.
正準量子化は、場の量子論の基本的な手法の一つである。
Canonical quantization is one of the fundamental methods in quantum field theory.
Compound of 正準 (canonical) and 量子化 (quantization). The term is a direct translation of the English 'canonical quantization'.
