Abstract
The possibility, first noticed by Wigner, that the form of the Hamiltonian together with the Heisenberg equations do not imply canonical commutation relations for the harmonic oscillator variables, is re-examined here. It is shown that this freedom of commutation relations just expresses the known possibility of quantizing the system by Bose or Fermi (and para-Fermi) statistics, and of altering the zero-point energy.
