Abstract

Proofs are presented showing impossibility of assigning differential operators (quantum observables) to classical mechanical observables in such a way as to preserve the usual bracket formalism. Difficulty is shown to arise even if we limit ourselves to preserving brackets between the Hamiltonian and a rather limited set of observables. Some other algebraic difficulties inherent in the operator assignment problem are also discussed.
