Abstract
In analogy with conventional quantum mechanics, non-commutative quantum mechanics is formulated as a quantum system on the Hilbert space of Hilbert–Schmidt operators acting on non-commutative configuration space. It is argued that the standard quantum mechanical interpretation based on positive operator valued measures, provides a sufficient framework for the consistent interpretation of this quantum system. The implications of this formalism for rotational and time reversal symmetry are discussed. The formalism is applied to the free particle and harmonic oscillator in two dimensions and the physical signatures of non-commutativity are identified.
