Canonical quantization may be approached from several different starting points. The usual approaches involve promotion of c-numbers to q-numbers, or path integral constructs, each of which generally succeeds only in Cartesian coordinates.…

We characterize when a coherent state or continuous frame for a Hilbert space may be sampled to obtain a frame, which solves the discretization problem for continuous frames. In particular, we prove that every bounded continuous frame for a…
