Abstract

Since this part Field Quantization as Selection Problem attempts to carry over the quantization of point-mechanical systems to that of classical fields, it begins with a chapter about coupled harmonic oscillators being the classical basis of phonons, the quantum particles of sound. After establishing the Newtonian equations of motion, the eigenmodes are calculated as a Toeplitz eigenvalue problem. Finally, the canonical momentum and the Hamiltonian are provided.


Keywords: Canonical momentum, Coupled classical oscillators, Eigenmodes, Hamiltonian, Quantization, Toeplitz eigenvalue problem.
