Abstract
The interrelations between the two definitions of momentum operator, via the canonical energy-momentum tensorial operator and as translation operator (on the operator space), are studied in quantum field theory. These definitions give rise to similar but, generally, different momentum operators, each of them having its own place in the theory. Some speculations on the relations between quantum field theory and quantum mechanics are presented.
