Understanding quantization: a hidden variable model
We argue that to solve the foundational problems of quantum theory one has to
first understand what it means to quantize a classical system. We then propose
a quantization method based on replacement of deterministic c-numbers by
stochastically-parameterized c-numbers. Unlike canonical quantization, the
method is free from operator ordering ambiguity and the resulting quantum
system has a straightforward interpretation as statistical modification of
ensemble of classical trajectories. We then develop measurement without wave
function collapse \`a la pilot-wave theory and point out new testable
predictions.Comment: 16 pages, based on a talk given at "Emergent Quantum Mechanics (Heinz
