Suppose to have a Hamiltonian H(q,p) defined on a phase space with (q,p) and suppose that exist a canonical transformation (Q,P)=X(q,p)
such that the classical dynamics is equivalent using H′(Q,P) and (Q,P). Now, what happens if I quantize the system using (q,p) or (Q,P)? I would say that I get two Hilbert spaces E and E' that are not isomorphic in general because a canonical transformations could be non linear. Is it true? If so, why we are used to quantize a system in a specific (q,p) phase space? I observed this ambiguity in the quantization of the hydrogen atom: the system is quantized in the phase space (x,y,z,px,py,pz) and only in the quantum world we shift to polar coordinates: what would happen if this change is made at a classical level and then we quantize the phase space (r,θ,ϕ,pr,pθ,pϕ)?
