The correspondence between Poisson bracket and Commutators in Quantum Mechanics



I don't understand canonical quantization. In passing from classical to quantum, one replaces the Poisson brackets with the commutators. I don't really understand this.


How can we generally show that in the classical limit, the quantum theory that we obtained using this operation leads to the classical theory that we started with?


Can there be a quantum theory that has the same classical limit but that can't be obtained using this prescription?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
